Ethan> I have one, too (and the uVAX2000 w/disk that it used to Ethan> boot from). What I would like to do is fire up DECnet on a Ethan> Linux box and start the DECserver from there. Has anyone Ethan> tried _that_ yet? I have a couple of DECservers here (one 300 and one 200) and I have successfully got them work with solely one linux machine. Here's the recipe: 1. start mopd-linux to make the DECservers load the boot image from the linux box; 2. start latd in the linux box to allow the DECservers login. All these software components for linux can be found at the DECnet for linux page. Note that both mopd and latd do not require DECnet, because they seem to use independent protocols. BTW, I've written a couple of progs from scratch that implement the mop console protocol. I use them to check a couple of DEChubs. I could provide the source code to everyone interested.
