Hi, Tony. Sorry for not answering earlier... Busy... On 2012-06-15 03:34, Tony Blews wrote: Hi, I've just joined the list. Welcome. I'm Tony, and I worked with VMS and Ultrix boxes and DECnet back in the late 80s/early 90s. I'm currently running an emulated MicroVAX with OpenVMS 7.3 on a single board computer the size of a cigarette pack (The Raspberry Pi). Having played about with TCP/IP and getting the webserver running, I thought it might be a nice idea to get DECnet up. Sure, I could just set up a local one within the house to connect various emulations, but that just seems too easy. So, my questions: 1. Is HECnet still active? Yes. 2. Can I add my "machine"? Of course. 3. Can it be called "PIVAX"? There don't seem to exist a PIVAX today, so sure. I already have a separate Linux box running (the house file server), so installing the bridge software isn't a problem. Sounds good. Let's talk outside of this list, and we'll get you running. Johnny
