If you are going to be using both DECnet and TCP/IP you MUST start DECnet first. DECnet sets the physical address of the Ethernet interface to one corresponding to the DECnet address. If TCP/IP is already running, changing the ethernet address underneath it is just about guaranteed to break it!!!!! ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Feb 2008 01:18:46 +0100 From: Johnny Billquist Subject: Re: HP to close Nashua (ZKO) Message-ID: David P.

I use Multinet and have SSH all the way back to my 5.x systems. You can get SSH separately from Process and run that on top of TCP/IP Services. Or, if this is a hobbyist system, you can just get al lof Multinet and dump TCP/IP Services. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:57:16 -0500 From: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Arne_Vajh=F8j?= Subject: Re: Restricting Access to TCP/IP and DECnet Message-ID: <47a3bfea$0$90265$14726298@news.sunsite.dk> Robert Jarratt wrote: > "Bob Koehler" wrote in message > news:LOMDmdo5hR1B@eisner.encompasserve.org... >> In article , "Robert Jarratt" >> writes: >>> Yes I know that, but I am prepared to accept that risk.

If I couldn't find anything better, I'd probably try to adapt wget to do the actual recursive work, and then scan the log to look for "404" or other error symptoms.

I wrote a VT103[1] terminal emulator back in 1988 or so. The only documentation I had was a VT100 User Guide and a Terminal handbook. It didn't do double height but otherwise it was pretty complete. It ran EDT and ALL-IN-1's editor without a hitch. That doesn't mean there aren't undocumented sequences (I'm sure there are _some_ for the VT100), and there may even be seuqences which do "things" but were never intended to do anything useful (they just happened to slip through the parser). But if EDT uses them then it must use them pretty rarely.

But if EDT uses >them then it must use them pretty rarely. There are at least two 'accidental' VT100 escape sequences that I know of. Neither is useful to EDT. One is an annoyance, it turns the ^G beep tone on and leaves it on. The other sets the keyboard auto-repeat rate to a very high rate, and has an interesting side effect I've heard call 'piano mode'. If the keyclick is on, pressing the keys produces tones from the keyclick, and different keys produce different tones. You may be able to "play" simple music on it, although most are buzzes. I don't know what either escape sequence is, other than the constant tone one is related to the turn on LED ones, same except for the numeric portion. It turns on the beep instead of a LED. I don't know if the corresponding "off" code actually works. I think there are one or more "lock up terminal" accidental codes as well. There is rumored to be an undocumented load answerback buffer escape sequence for a VT220. This could be evil, load the answerback, then send a control-E to remotely "type" the command. ------------------------------ Date: 01 Feb 2008 23:22:41 GMT From: VAXman- @SendSpamHere.ORG Subject: Re: VT100 standards and EDT Message-ID: <47a3a9c1$0$25047$607ed4bc@cv.net> In article , moroney@world.std.spaamtrap.com (Michael Moroney) writes: >Antonio Carlini writes: > >>That doesn't mean there aren't undocumented sequences (I'm sure >>there are _some_ for the VT100), and there may even be seuqences >>which do "things" but were never intended to do anything useful >>(they just happened to slip through the parser).

I still have some real VT220 (most 320s have blown up since, but the 220s persevere). Note that those "features" may be bugs in the firmware instead of desired escape sequences that were in the specs. But the piano mode is interesting.

Long ago, my employer had a couple of VT320's, but they died pretty quickly. An apparently common failure mode involved the horizontal output transformer, which looked as if its potting compund had melted, and was oozing out of cracks in its shell. I have a dim recollection of finding a vendor somewhere (perhaps specializing in repairing Apple computers?) which sold replacement transformers for some remarkably reasonable price (about $10?). I (dimly) remember doing at least one successful repair that way, but I'd guess that that was more than fifteen years ago. Google did find this, however: http://www.bluestar-online.com/category_s/15.htm http://www.bluestar-online.com/16_27975_01_p/16-27975-01.htm Get 'em before they're all gone. (Then, smoke 'em if you've got 'em?) The VT220 was certainly much more durable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
