Hi,
I sent a message a while back to the 'responsible person' (as stated in the
HECnet webpage) but have not received a response so I thought I'd try the list.
Having recently rediscovered the delights of VMS(7.3 VAX architecture), the hobbyist
programme and SIMH, etc. etc. I'd like to link into HECnet. Any help appreciated. I
can do DDCMP-DMC (over UDP or TCP) or use the SIMH4.x built-in bridge.
Apologies if I missed something. Been very busy with work for a while now.
Anyway, I saw that Supratim offered a way to connect. How has this gone?
Are you online yet, or still working on it?
Where are you located? It might be that Supratim is a good point for you
to connect to, or we might want to find someone closer. Supratim is on
the US east cost, unless my memory fails me.
As for node numbers, we might want to set aside a small range for you.
So my first question would be if you need a small set of numbers within
an existing area, or an area of your own? Area 1 is where Supratim is
in, so if you connect through him we'd allocate some numbers in this
area. But we first need to establish to where you connect, and some
basic needs. And then we figure out the next bits.
