Public access? - HECnet

25 Sep 2013

By the way, the hecnet.eu page says the bridge has to run on Unix. I have ported it to
Windows as well. I can't remember if I ever sent the code to Johnny though. Johnny, do
you want the code? I can't remember what I did to it, but I did have to change it
around a bit.

Regards

Rob

I'll mirror whatever we come up with on http://hecnet.eu as a static page, can't
see given our pace of change that it's going to get out of date quickly!

Hecnet.eu has been a bit I unreliable lately as I've moved over to the mikrotik router
but it should be fairly stable now and my interest in dec kit is waxing again.

 Yuck. While I won't prevent someone from doing this, regularly scraping
 that file, hoping for a standardized, usable format, seems optimistic
 and heavy. :-) 
 Yes, we keep trying that. It keeps failing. :) 
 Yes. Also, it would be nice with a little more massaged information about public
resources. Assembling something from one-liners really isn't what I was thinking of.

   Seems
noone have such a web resource around, so I guess I'll drop the
 idea for now. 
 I can offer up a web server. It's FreeBSD though. :) 
 As far as that goes, I could do that on RSX...

   There was
someone who (for a while?) tried to have a network map around.
 Is that still up somewhere? It would be even nicer to get something
 superimposed on a real map. 
 I'm still going to be working on it. It's been sitting on the sidelines
 waiting for Paul to get NICE support written into his DECnet stack he's
 written in python. The current mapper works fine so long as it's only
 DEC OSes involved. Cisco (and Rob's router) break it and I haven't found
 a good solution to that while trying to run it on VMS (there are some
 limitations such as paramiko not working on VMS).

 I will get back to it. I promise. :) 
 Ah.
 Well, yes, it's a nice project. Would be neat to get it working more completely.
