All source, documentation, executables, control files and test data are
available for Anonymous NFT on HECnet from VENTI2::PS:<OINKY.K20MIT> and
associated subdirectories. Documentation includes more detail on the
above list. All regression tests have passed except for Tops-10 because
of some local networking issues.
Be aware that VENTI2:: is running a FAL alpha candidate, so let me know
if you get unexpected behavior.

New subject: HECnet-in-a-Box distribution (just for the heck of it)
HECnet-in-a-box: Here is a Oracle VirtualBox appliance intended for
people wanting to get on HECnet in a few minutes (after obtaining
Nodenames and DECnet addresses from one of the HECnet Area owners) . It
comes with a bridge that provides TAP interfaces and a VDE Switch for
emulators to connect to, as well as a DECnet/Python instance and a SimH
PDP-11/70 running RSX-11M-Plus. Configuration involves answering a few
questions pertaining to node names and addresses and firing them up
which shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Instructions are in the
README. Both SimH and QEMU support VDE switches directly, so it is easy
to keep adding SimH and QEMU emulated machines to it. The home partition
has 80GB of space as-shipped, and memory is set to 2GB but it is a
VirtualBox thing and it is trivial to bump up memory as needed. Maybe it
will be of help to people interested in joining HECnet with minimal
effort. It can be downloaded from https://bit.ly/hecnet-in-a-box or
scanning the QR Code. Any feedback for the next revision welcome.
Thank you Paul Koning for DECnet/Python and Johnny for the immaculately
manicured RSX distribution.
Regards,
Supratim

Thank you Supratim for making such a resource available! I didn't get a
chance at it, though as: "*Access to 'HECnet in a Box' was limited due to
high download traffic."* apparently very shortly after the announcement.
Would it be possible to upload it to archive.org ?
Cheers,
Chris.

Can you try https://bit.ly/hecnet-in-a-box-archive-org and see if it
works? Thanks.

Hello!
I agree. I just saw the same untranslatable post on another thread. I
figured there's a good reason someplace.

Interestingly enough it was in Swedish, but the subscriber had an
address in Ukraine. Who knows what that was all about. But I suspect the
Swedish was because dfupdate.se is a Swedish domain.
I'm just unhappy that people are abusing things. I try to keep the
hecnet list really clean.
