Hi All, After a rather suddenly enforced break over 2 years ago I'm in a position where I can try and get back onto HECNET. I've renewed my VMS PAKs and have a couple of simh VMS 7.3 instances up again. Unfortunately when I dropped off back then I lost my static IP, so step one, I guess, is asking this: What are the current best options the group has found to deal with dynamic addresses? Alas FLETCH (1.100), my VS4000/60 has suffered some kind of disk trauma during the intervening 2 house moves so it might be a while before I can connect a physical system. Nice to see the return of the mapping project too - rather more elegant than my own short-lived efforts.
