[HECnet] New Digital Unix node TIGER on HECnet

[Steve Davidson]

Johnny,

I think I would rather have P/OS on the beast.   The terminal service and
memory management is so much better.   I was working in the RT-11 group when
RT-11 on the PRO first shipped and the 2 biggest complaints we heard were that
terminal emulation was not as nice as P/OS and DECnet is such a hog that the
XM monitor should be reworked to accomodate it!

For all the complaints about P/OS it did just fine - if you went with the
patch to side-step the menu system.   What I would rather have seen (and they
did work on it at some level) was RSTS/E on the PRO.   That would have been
GREAT!

I have an ULTRIX kit, but no license.   I also have Digital UNIX but again no
license.   I do not have DECnet for either - sorry.

Ah. Too bad. The kits I have too. And license (well, for Ultrix atleast).
But no kit for DECnet.

I am working on getting a PRO-380 (RT-11) w/DECnet to talk to HECnet.   The
DECNA has died a horrible death but the com port may be a possibility.

Wish I had a DECNA. By PRO-380 is connected to HECnet using the comm 
port, but that machine is running P/OS. (BEA::)

Folks

I've just finished configuring my Alphaserver 300 4/266 running Digital
Unix 4.0G to be on HECnet via DECNET/OSI basic configuration. I don't
know whether there are other Digital Unix systems out there! The new
node is 1.258, TIGER, requiring a node list update to find.

Next step is to install the Mailbus 400 SMTP Gateway...
Nice!

Does anyone have DECnet for Ultrix around? I have Ultrix 4.5 here, but
no DECnet... :-)

Known OSes on HECnet:

RSX
VMS
P/OS
TOPS-20
RSTS/E
OSF/1
Linux
Windows

Missing (as far as I know):
Ultrix
TOPS-10 (could it even connect to DECnet?)
RT-11
RTS/8 (doubtful if possible, supposedly only supported phase II)
(MAC)
(SUN/OS)
(Genera)
