Not quite true. It will crash if you do something
*really* stupid. For
example if you try to cluster a VAX/VMS V5.5 system in with a OpenVMS V7.2
cluster and then unplug the VAX from the cluster becuase it won't boot,
then once you've finished running the commands to de-cluster it and are
running the autogen, and you decided to save a couple seconds and just plug
the ethernet cable back in, BOOM!
Clinically that is a pathological case. ;) You had to work at it though!
V6.2-V7.2 they're almost right (IIRC, you can
fudge it and cluster in a
V6.1 system but not everything will work right).
Done by the book it's a but more robust.. But then that was the
definition of "supported" VS "it works".
DFWUG sells the Freeware CD V4 for $7 which I believe
includes shipping.
I've just not gotten around to getting one.
Oh good!
Cool, I take it you just tell it which system to
connect to? I've got a
DECserver 90L+ that lets me do that with a VT420 using LAT. The 90L+ is
nice because it's so small, and you can hook several terminals up to it.
It's even nicer when I run the 1200 and VT340(multisession over 1 wire.
With PCs the networking is more like MS networking, though with APACHE
and fileservices going it's nice.
