My version splits out LAT from MOP, adds SCA (LAVc) and LAST
(InfoServer). The LAT/MOP split has been verified to work. LAVc
support is being tested now. The LAST support testing is pending. What
I have been doing is testing as the central hub. I do not pass along
*anything* new to Update.UU.SE - I don't want the whole of HECnet to
suffer the traffic if this version isn't up to the task.
We know that it successfully builds on NetBSD V04.00 (because that's
what I run) and Ubuntu Linux (32-bit version only) because that's what
has been running on the other end.
My InfoServer-100 (ISIS) will be up later today with an earlier version
of VMS (V5.x I think, depends on what I can find) just for testing.
If you wish to test this version of bridge.c (bridge-2.2.c) contact me
off-list.

possible. I have just purchased a (real not hobbyist) VMS V7.3-1 kit
for VAXen to try this out on - it should be here sometime next week.
Anyway, IIRC, even a hobbyist CD-ROM would work in the same way, I'm
right?
I can make the system available to any and all who would like to login
to it and play/learn/hack etc. When the VMS kit shows up I will send
additional mail.
Well, I'm very interested in the structure and contents of an InfoServer
system disk as it results from INITIALIZE and UPDATE SYSTEM commands.
When
you'll be ready to share, I hope we'll be able to arrange something to
let
me have a peek at that disk structure! 8-)
