In order to better debug and develop my Multinet compatible link for
RSX, I think should set up a VMS box locally with Multinet.
I do have a VAX or two around, which currently are running TCPIP
services from HP.
So, how do I switch? I've never actually used Multinet before.
Where do I find it? How do I get a license? Anything in particular I
should be aware of when installing it?

Do you have have the VMS Hobbyist packs from HPE? You?ll need one of those packs, to be
able get the Hobbyist license from Process Software.

I?m not sure how you go about switching stacks. The only machine I?ve run it on is my
DECnet Router, which runs VAX/VMS 5.5-2 (currently not licensed, and I installed it about
a decade ago).

I can't speak about having both UCX (TCP/IP services for VMS) and Multinet coexist.
I never tried such a thing.
To get a Multinet hobbyist license, go to
http://www.process.com/resources/openvms/hobbyist.html
and fill out the form. Note that they'll want your HP Hobbyist VMS license number as
part of the sign up (so, better get one of those first).
FWIW, if it were me I wouldn't bother with a real VAX - just use a simh MicroVAX...

I wasn't thinking that I'd run them in parallel. Doubt that would even
work...
Now I just need to dig out my old Hobbyist License number and see if it
is still valid. It goes back to when DEC and DECUS existed, and was
through the various DECUS chapters back in the day... I haven't even
touched it in quite a while (tells you how often I run VMS...)

Johnny - if it would help, I can bring up a SIMH VAX on a VPS in Canada
with MULTINET installed and you can do whatever you like with it. Just
let me know the area/node and remote IP and Port for MULTINET and give
me a few hours to get on it later tonight if you want to pursue that path.

That could be a quicker way of doing something... Let me check a few

At the moment I've realized that there is something else/more I would
like to investigate which could be done with the help of Paul and a
little hacking in PyDECnet...
