Oh, BTW, your account on UUHEC.NET's App site is ready:

You can use that for Google Talk/Jabber, probably a bit more sane than firing emails back and forth :)

Already done, my friend... it should be in the latest push... 

Ever done much serial (e.g. RS-232 and the like) programming? If so, do you know of any good references? I'd like to see if I can interface with the serial ports on a simh vax... 

Cheers...

OK,

Cool, you need to let Johnny know so he can update the master node name database as well.

Sampsa,

I'm sure you've already realized via update, but I was just thinking that I forgot to mention it to you -- I've taken area 20 so as to be able to give you back your node addresses. I think I had the 8.50n series...

Also, I have taylor up on solaris 10.. just need to configure it...

Guys/Johnny,

I'm registering two new nodes in my area, BONZO and LEMUR.

BONZO is at 8.800
LEMUR is at 8.430

Have you ever run an Alpha with only 128MB of RAM? That is the absolute
bare minimum I'd run 7.2 in, and it wasn't fun. I really wish they'd allow
between 192MB and 256MB, as at that point it starts being usable. Of course
I'd also like a Linux version. :-)

They have a Linux version called CHARON-AXP/ES40 for Linux NCE. You can find it at http://www.stromasys.ch/axpnce/ .

I've set it up here and it does work. The only downside is that the non-commercial (free) version shuts off after 30 days requiring a restart. Plus, it's time-bombed to stop working after December 31, 2010 (although a newer version should subsequently be available if past history continues).
