CODA is getting an early retirement. It's a very nice machine (a DS20E) but it uses nearly 500W and with the marginal electricity rate here in CA at something like 38 cents/kWh that's about $140 per month to keep it running 24x7. That's just too much, and I'm replacing it with a Charon-AXP-nce emulation on a Linux box; it's the same Linux box we use for our MythTV backend so it's already running 24x7 anyway. The Charon emulation is only about half the speed of the original DS20 (the CPU emulation is not bad, but the emulated I/O performance seems crappy when compared with the real hardware) so it'll be an experiment to see if it can keep up. The only real difference to HECnet is that people with Multinet connections to me will see that they're now terminated by 2.17 CHARON rather than 2.7 CODA. Johnny, please add 2.17 CHARON to the node database on MIM. Thanks, Bob
