I don't know for sure about VMS Multinet links over TCP. I can only
repeat what I've been told.
For RSX, you can either lock it to a specific remote IP address, or
accept from anyone. Same with the remote port. And you can also use
multiple local ports, to keep different remote ends separated.

Hi,
I'm pretty sure that a TCP listen doesn't care who connects to it on VAX
Multinet. UDP is a different matter.
For example, there's a listener device set up with a 1.1.1.1 address on DUNE here.
PIVAX0 connects to it from a completely different address. I use access controls on the
router to restrict just who is allowed to connect to it.
If you want I can set up another incoming line/circuit and you can connect to it. I'm
in area 29 FYI.

Johnny,
OK I am in Manchester, England, quite close to Rob Jarrett. Some of my VAXES came from
him.
I have MULTINET TCPIP installed on one of the VAXES because I couldn't get TN3270
to my P390 working.
My VMS never was very good so please excuse the idiot questions.
Dave

Not necessarily. What you need is an RSX system to peer with.
Unfortunately, I think I am having enough connections to MIM to maybe
not be able to hook you up there. But maybe there is someone else around?
Also, maybe someone a bit closer to you...?
Where are you located? And is there someone else with an RSX system
willing to peer?
Oh, and you'd need to install Multinet on your VMS system, Dave.

Johnny,
As I only have VMS systems, and a dynamic IP looks like I am stuck
for a while.

No you don't. But it do depend on how you connect.
RSX mulitnet links using TCP handles if you have a dynamic IP
address just fine.
VMS multinet links I think not, and the bridge certainly do not.
