[HECnet] New attempt at HECNET PHONE directory

[Johnny Billquist]

Guys... This is getting *way* offtopic.
This list is about *hecnet* in particular, DECnet more generally, and I can buy talk about various old computers (preferrably from DEC), but seriously? The political situation in Beirut?

Please think twice before posting to hecnet in the future. Not everyone needs this much ot stuff in their mailbox.

I still have no REAL idea of WTF that was all about, prob Amine Gemayel (our guy) going to meet the President (sorta not our guy)

But that's Beirut, instead of the typical "3 car tailback causing traffic to back up" it's "<Insert political guy here> closing half of fucking roundabouts with APCS and bunkers because he's going to meet <insert religious leader / state institution>, so no traffic on half the arteries. Sorry about that."

I love this place, it's like a fucking Vietnam movie meets Southern France.

If you call half a dozen APCs with 50 cals and about a hundred soldiers closing a roundabout making late for Arabic class interesting, then yes.

Cab drivers just swearing, I ask him watch going on, he says he has no idea, then I see the giant flags of Bachir Gemayel.

Turns out March 14 or LF (the people I hang with were out marching). The army was there to stop out of control Shia youths petrol bombing a Church or something ,thus starting Civil War - Round 49.

Sampsa,

You can add area 42 - my log files can take it :)   If polling machines that aren't always up is a problem, then BET:: is always up, and my main machine.

I found some DCL code on Deathrow's "Hack VMS FAQ" that outputs a nicely formatted listing of PHONE DIR.

So I took this code, ran it against a bunch of my hosts and ran it, and it works fine.

The output is in RHESUS::[.PHONEDIR]HECNETDIR.TXT

This service is opt-in: if you want you system listed in the phone directory, let me know and I'll add it to the script. Currently it only covers areas 8 and 47.

PS: Johnny, as we're not touching area 1, you shouldn't be getting those log messages I hope..

Hello!
About the protest I arranged that. Along with almost everything else.
Except why you find yourself inside that sort of place.
