Hello everyone, days ago there was some debate about which Digital systems other than VMS could run DECnet Phase IV... This is the proof that TOPS-10 can! :) This is a CTERM connection: | ALPHA::SYSTEM$ set host dieci | | T10 DECnet node DIECI 10:16:08 TTY4 system 2034 | Connected to Node ALPHA Line # 0 | Please LOGIN | | .login 1,2 | Job 4 T10 DECnet node DIECI TTY4 | [LGNJSP Other jobs same PPN] | 10:16 1-Jul-10 Thursday | | .systat | | Status of T10 DECnet node DIECI at 10:16:32 on 01-Jul-110 | | Uptime 23:14:34, 88% Null time = 88% Idle + 0% Lost, 10% Overhead | 15 Jobs in use out of 120. 15 logged in, 13 detached. | | Job Who Line# What Size(P) State Run Time | | 1 [OPR] DET751 STOMPR 13+12 SL 0 01 | 2 [OPR] CTY OPR 67+40 HB 0 | 3 [OPR] DET751 FAL-10 118+40 SL 0 | 4 [OPR] 4 SYSTAT 23+SPY RN 0 | . | . | . | | .kjob | [LGNJSP Other jobs same PPN] | Job 4 User OPERATOR [1,2] | Logged-off TTY4 at 10:16:33 on 1-Jul-10 | Runtime: 0:00:00, KCS:0, Connect time: 0:00:32 | Disk Reads:0, Writes:0, Blocks saved:10 | | %REM-S-END, control returned to node ALPHA:: | ALPHA::SYSTEM$ This is the output from NCP: | ALPHA::SYSTEM$ mcr ncp tell dieci sho exe char | | | Node Volatile Characteristics as of 1-JUL-2010 10:30:06 | | Executor node = 1.1010 (DIECI) | | Identification = DECnet-10 Version 4.0 | Management version = V4.0.0 | Loop count = 1 | Loop length = 127 | Loop Data type = mixed | Incoming timer = 30 | Outgoing timer = 60 | NSP version = V4.0.0 | . | . | .

I'm still learning how to use and configure the Thing, and as a matter of facts I'm still running with security disabled. The OS is TOPS-10 7.04 with the latest patches (TSU04, December 1990). The emulator is Ken Harrenstien's KLH10 release 2.0h (Panda distribution) and the tape images come from the Trailing Edge PDP-10 repository. Thanks to everyone at alt.sys.pdp10 and to Beethoven's 9th Symphony. :) Bye, G. P.S.: DIECI means ten in Italian. :)
