Wouldn't it be best to have someone geographically closer for reasons of latency?
I don't think it really matters much anymore and besides, it's not as if HECnet
is a high bandwidth application :-)
I'll be using Johnny's tunnel program.
Then I think you're going to have to connect to his server, regardless of
geography.
open ports on the LAN, something I can't easily do.
AFAIK, you'll have to open ports in either case. Multinet uses UDP port 700; I
don't know about Johnny's program.
LOKI:: Alphastation 250 4/266 running OpenVMS 8.3
FAFNIR:: VAXstation 4000-60 running OpenVMS 7.3
Do you already have TCP/IP on either of these machines? What/which one are you using?
