Hey, is anyone here interested in getting an ethernet DECnet network
together at VCFMW?
I'll be bringing my PDP11 which has DECnet/E on it :)
12:39 p.m.
Maybe you can hook it up to HECnet - that'd be cool...

That sounds like a good idea, and should be fairly easy to
accomplish. :)

Heh, it'll be the only way I get on until I get my home systems situated
with a working DECnet-over-IP solution.
Stupid GameCube won't run DECnet cause it's not built into the kernel :p
(haven't tried Johnny's bridge on the cube yet, that's next on my list)

You're running Unix on your Nintendo Gamecube?!?! OK, you've got me
interested, why, and what is it doing?

New subject: Gamecube running Linux
I needed a Linux box that was stable and not being used for anything else,
and they had the images on the web already set up. All I needed was a
Phantasy Star Online CD and broadband adapter, which I had, and you can load
the Linux system into it that way. I think it has some 40MB of memory, and
the disk image size is 1gb. You netboot it via a remote UNIX system, in my
case my Sun Netra T1 200.
This is all just to have a DECnet bridge to get on HECnet. Who knew
Nintendo was the one to provide it? :)

Let me know if you need help or a Multinet termination.
Maybe we can arrange to have some of the other old(er) computers on HECnet
running that weekend and you can provide a pass thru for people to log in.
That'd be interesting.

Can a VAXstation 4000/60 or /90 be swapped in for a /VLC without
requiring any changes to the OS (network config)? If so, depending
on the weather (we're in a heat wave right now), I could probably get
my segment back up and running. If it is cool enough, that could
include my PDP-11/73 (most likely running RSTS/E V10.1).

New subject: Free: new IBM Wireless LAN Entry PCMCIA cards
I have several PCMCIA Wireless cards I'm giving away for the cost of
shipping. CONUS only, please.
Might be useful if you have some old laptops you'd like to network.
Here's a picture of the box with specs:
http://nut.net/ebay/ibm/boxlabel1024x871.jpg
And here's the deal: the first three responders get a case of five (5)
cards, complete with drivers for various obsolete operating systems.
Brand spanking new!
Note: these are 2.4GHz cards, but they are not 802.11. I believe they'll
do peer-to-peer as well as talk to an access point (IBM 8227), but I never
used them myself.
I'll ship them UPS Ground and you pay the actual shipping charge via
paypal. Or pick them up if you're near Seattle.
Cheers,
Doug

Are some of those cards still available?
Would you ship them to Spain?
Thank you and regards,

Assuming you are running OpenVMS and have not tailored anything
off the system disk, then you should be able to swap a disk
from one machine to another with no problems.
Note that the network interface name may change (I know that
on a VS4000-90 the interface is EZA0: and I think that a -60
is the same but I don't recall what the VLC uses). So you
may have to do a small amount of network configuration.

Can a VAXstation 4000/60 or /90 be swapped in for a
/VLC
AFAIK, a 60 can substitute for a VLC any day. They're nearly identical.
The 90 has a different Ethernet adapter and hence a different device name,
EZA0/ISA-0, which will screw up your network(s) until you fix it (which is
fairly easy to do).
