Hi Jordi, I've been using your BITXOZ as my DECdns HECNET nodename
resolution server for OpenVMS for at least eight years (since you put it
up), but it seems that area 7 went offline fairly recently. Is everything
ok?
Regards,

Hello,
I'm playing again a little bit with DECNET/OSI. Does anybody have the X500
directory server install kit at hand? The PAKs are included in the hobbyist
set, but the CSD I have is the 1992 one so I guess there has to be a more
recent one (for VAX, by the way). The DECDns stuff changed from 6.X to 7.X
so I'm pretty sure the version I have in my CDs won't work.
By the way, BITXOZ is configured as a DECDns server, and "owns" the
HECNET: namespace. All HECNET nodes are loaded in the form HECNET:.NAME. I
toyed previously with a schema like HECNET:.AREAn.NAME but I have ditched
it. My internet domain (
jguillaumes.dyndns.org or jordi.guillaumes.name)
has also opened the access to BITXOZ via rfc1006, so anyone with a
DECNET/OSI stack shoud be able to do a $SET HOST
jguillaumes.dyndns.org
or a $DIR/APP=FTAM
jguillaumes.dyndns.org:: and access that system even
without a working HECNET link.
