In the early 1990's I remember seeing two different SynOptics cards which appeared to do the same thing and appeared to be interchangeable 99% of the time. One supported Ethernet over UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) called LattisNet while the newer one supported Ethernet over 10-base-T. A product support rep from SynOptics told me that their company couldn't wait for the standards people to catch up so they were installing UTP product as fast as possible and hoped that the standards committee would rubber-stamp their specs. According to the product support rep the differences between the two weren't worth mentioning (and yet they had two different cards :) Neil Rieck Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge, Ontario, Canada. http://www3.sympatico.ca/n.rieck/links/cool_openvms.html ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Feb 2007 06:48:39 -0500 From: JF Mezei Subject: Re: Intel prepares to kill off the Pentium 4 Message-ID: <25efe$45c476a2$cef8887a$28391@TEKSAVVY.COM> Neil Rieck wrote: > If OpenVMS was booing on a CPU with capabilities below "x86-64" I would > expect to see a message like "halted - this hardware does not meet the > minimum standards". That is no different than VMS on Alpha. If you want support for the ATI Radeon cards, you need an alpha EV6 or later. Architecture remains the same, but iteration changes. What is not known is whether HP is waiting for Intel to announce a 64 bit 8086 iteration that will include new features to make VMS much more at home than if it were ported on the currently available chips from either AMD or Intel. Another aspect is from HP's side. HP could have a lot of leverage with Intel. HP could be asking Intel to either speed up IA64 development to reduce product cycles, or pay for the port to 8086, and if Intel doesn't do that, HP could then move everything to AMD (Not just VMS and HP-UX, but also its Wintel and Linux business). At the time the IA64 contracts were written, AMD was just some necessary evil to comply with FTC competition rules, and AMD was inconsequential. But now, AMD has become a serious competitor and gives Intel customers more leverage. ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 03 Feb 2007 10:27:05 -0500 From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Arne_Vajh=F8j?= Subject: Re: Intel prepares to kill off the Pentium 4 Message-ID: <45c4a9bc$0$49196$14726298@news.sunsite.dk> Tad Winters wrote: > Maybe I'm dense.

To be more specific: a satellite cannot boot via it's local LAN interface, if that LAN interface is supposed to become a member of a LAN failover set. If you have a satellite with 3 LAN interfaces, you can certainly use one of them for booting and create a LAN failover set using the other two. To convert a cluster node to using LAN failover, you typically need to reboot that node, as you can't create a LAN failover set while any network protocol is active on those LAN devices, which should become members of the LAN failover set. You would use LANCP> DEFINE DEVICE LLA/FAIL=(EWA,EWB)/ENABLE and then reboot the node.

Did you look at the HP-UX, Linux and Windows lists? You know that OpenVMS runs in those same types of organizations. Manufacturing, distributing, banking, communications, transportation, education, brokerage, retail, health care, utility and yes, even government customers are on those lists. They don't seem to mind bragging about their systems. Banco Espirito Santo is running Unix. Intrado and General Mills, too. Wow, even Chevron is running *nix! How foolish of them to tell us. And look at that Windows list! Holy Cow! Raymond James Financial runs Windows 2003 server! San Paulo Stock Exchange, too? And even Ameren Corp? Those people must be out-of-their minds telling us that! Now *anyone* can go hack into all those extremely sensitive systems! Seems like if I were a competitor I'd be happy to tell everyone that we used OpenVMS and spend our time providing service while the other guys spend their time and overhead applying patches and recovering their data from hackers. Or maybe the real world isn't really like that? I don't know about anyone else, but I see no "customer based" argument that can justify the lack of OpenVMS promotion. ------------------------------ Date: 3 Feb 2007 09:20:42 -0800 From: "Ken Robinson" Subject: Re: PL/I for Itanium Message-ID: <1170523242.706529.254700@a75g2000cwd.googlegroups.com> On Feb 3, 11:53 am, pech...@pechter.dyndns.org (William Pechter) wrote (in part): > > >I have been told (before my time) that the VAX 780 came with 256 KB, > > True > > >ran great with 1 MB > > No...

These kits provide optional "login" and "set password" functionality that utilizes the SYS$ACM system service for user authentication and password changes. When this optional functionality is enabled, login and password change requests are sent to the SYS$ACM service and handled by the ACME_SERVER process's authentication agents. These kits contain an LDAP authentication agent that allows for login and password-change requests to be directed to any LDAP V3 compliant directory server. These patch kits have been rigorously tested and are qualified for use in production environments. Once the kit is installed, detailed information on how to configure the system can be found in SYS $HELP:ACME_DEV_README.TXT and release notes found at SYS$HELP:VMS83x_ACMELDAP-V0100.RELEASE_NOTES ---------------------------------- Announcing the HP Web Services Integration Toolkit (WSIT) V1.2 for OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity.
