I should point out that if there is nothing responding to the CSR the DECnet driver is expecting, no driver will be installed, so "CON DIS ..." will not show anything. The simh side first needs to respond before anything else works on the RSX side... Johnny On 2020-05-31 17:37, Phil J

I think you made the worst choice for your attach command: wifi is not ethernet, contrary to popular belief. Can you post results when your attach to a real ethernet device ? Wilm Op zo 31 mei 2020 om 17:37 schreef Phil J FIsher < phil.fis...@peejayeff.co.uk> > All > Following Mark P's feedback

Yes, this do simplify things even more. All you need to do is a one time install of whatever package you want. Then maintenance of an RSX system is essentially just a question of "RPM ALL". However, a possible additional complication is that if TCP/IP have been updated, you will want to do a

All Following Mark P's feedback and comments, this is in many respects a re-submission of a previous poorly put together post. My goal in all this is to make an Ethernet adapter on PDP11 under SimH available to RSX11M+ V4.6 so that I can enable networking within that environment. I have not been

Ok. Thanks for inspiring me. I now also have TCP/IP as a package under RPM. A couple of comments about it are in place: 1) It's *big* You'll need atleast about 25.000 free blocks to install or update. So nothing for anyone with an RL02 as the system disk. 2) It will do the install/update,

You mean if TCP/IP should be distributed using RPM? It's a possibility for sure. I haven't thought much about it, but in fact, it could be an easy way for people to get updates. Let me think a bit, and look at it. :-) Johnny On 2020-05-31 10:04, R. Voorhorst wrote: Nice functionality to
