Robert,
I see that you are all over the net today with essentially the same
question on comp.os.vms and the ITRC forum. It appears that you have
found out the same thing that was my understanding, which is that to
get the name of your Alpha architecture, you pretty much have to roll
your own number to name translation, i.e.,
$ write sys$output f$getsyi("cputype")
8
is not immediately obvious, without reading the include files, that
this is an EV67 system. In principle, the VMS::System Perl extension
could retrieve this just as well as DCL can, though I haven't used
that recently.
Let us know if you get SSH2 running and if there are any necessary
changes to the extension.
