One machine will run Multinet, one will run the bridge. More info when I have it.

Steve,
I can see 19.40 (SGC) from GORVAX on the ethernet interface, as you going to run the
bridge or MULTINET or both?

Steve,
I just bounced GORVAX, the 19 circuit seems not to be up yet...

Sampsa,
It doesn't mention HECnet by name on the website. If you can arrange it, maybe put
in a HECnet gateway there. Just the gateway, nothing else.
I will commit to bringing all of my systems (and clusters) up for that weekend. None of
the machines here are newer than 1993 and that includes the Alpha's. The earliest
hardware that can be on the net is circa 1985. Everything here is DEC and only DEC not
Compaq and certainly not HP. This means that the only thing that will be available will
be actual hardware (from this end). I could (maybe) have up to 15 machines running by
then. I can see that electric meter move now - probably faster than it ever has! I can
bring up PDP-11's, VAXen, and Alpha's.
I did not publish this to the list intentionally. Let me know if I need to be able to
bring everything up. Also, all of the various gateways should be stable by then so we
can really show something. Maybe show how vintage systems can still communicate in the
current world with current hardware.

Guys, Check this out:
http://www.tnmoc.org/vcf-gb.aspx Maybe we could get HECnet
involved somehow? Or are we already doing this and I've totally missed the boat on
it all? Sampsa
