Hi Supratim,
I still find DECnet on Ubuntu to be very flakey after 9.10 and the code
being "orphaned". My 9.10 x32 instance (DOCTOR) is sometimes up at 1.252.
I just need to port it from my win10 laptop to the Ubuntu 16.04 x64 rack
unit.
(never underestimate the usefulness of old 1U rack unit bought for pennies
on eBay - if I don't stop myself I will end up with a floor-standing 18U,
which is entering MicroVAX like proportions).
Tony.

Tony,
Success with Ubuntu 14.4 ... all OK except ctermd looks for /pty - guess
will have to build from sources
Thanks

No luck here either Tony so far. I can get dneigh to see the nodes but am
struggling with the proxies configuration to set host to it. sethost out of
it just hangs there. Will keep trying - this should work! Ubuntu 17 zesty
64 bit here btw.

Hi,
I've been trying and failing to get Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64bit up and running
as 1.251 (MASTER).
I had it working before but its failing utterly this time.

Hi
I have started to work on a 64-bit Ubuntu 17/Zesty VM to try to get it to
talk DECnet. Many of you have already done this.
This is going to be called MOKSHA with address 1.553.
I had to compile dn-progs and dn-common from source; the dnping/dndir
etc. stuff in the Ubuntu repos crashed on invocation.
Currently trying to figure out how to get Johnny's bridge into the mix;
the closest I have gotten so far is dneigh shows a few HECnet nodes but
nothing else works.
I may have flooded psilo.update.uu.se too, which may have blocked my IP
off because I am not hearing back from psilo.update.uu.se.
Anyway, that's all for now. Any tips on HECnet bridging for Ubuntu/Linux
welcome.
Thanks for reading.
