[HECnet] Introduction

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

IP: you need a UCX license or a NET-APP-SUP-250 (or higher number) license loaded. 
Next set def sys$manager and 
@tcpip$config
Note this assumes that you've installed TCPIP along with VMS. It's an optional item to install like DECnet. 
The DEC IP stack supports telnet, ftp and xdm. 

Filesystem: yes I understand what you mean. I run two Tru64 unix systems and a linux box and have the same problems with those as you now have with VMS :-)

The two OSes are not that dissimilar even though initial appearances might be deceiving.

Is the alpha on the network and does it have IP running?

Not yet. I need to get on that. I get twitchy having enterprise hardware with no LAN. I assume one it's on a LAN I can telnet or SSH it?

Did you already learn about search paths? A logical name like sys$manager translates to sys$sysdevice:[sys0.sysmgr] but also to another logical name: sys$startup. Which translates to another directory (to improve confusion). 

Ah. Yes, see what I mean. As a long time UNIX nerd the filesystem doesn't seem so 'logical' to me :)

EDIT doesn't work you said. How about 
SET TERM/DEV=vt100
EDIT whatever

Yep that would have been it. I complained the CRT (maybe meant terminal) wasn't ANSI enabled. Would have worked if i'd told it it was a VT100 terminal. Thanks :)

I should know that, a lot of UNIXs require terminal spec at login in single user mode too.
