Hi All: I recently upgraded my ubuntu box to version 10.10 and I'm trying to get openvms/vax (hobbyist 7.2 CD) to use networking with simh 3.8.2-rc2. Since I haven't played with vms for many years, I'm using Phillip Wherry's web page as an installation guide (http://www.wherry.com/gadgets/retrocomputing/vax-simh.html)
I'm confused on what is the correct method to configure the network. I've tried several different approaches with no success (and some like bridging with taptap as described at http://www.retrocomputinggeek.com/retrowiki/SIMHNetworking/ ended up "hanging" the interface -- no fun when working remotely). Does anyone have a straight-forward procedure (config files, specific packages, etc) that is known to work? my setup is: ubuntu 10.10 (32bit) Linux 2.6.32-33-generic-pae simh-3.8.2-rc2 (from the downloaded zip file simhv38-2-rc2.zip) wired ethernet interface (eth1 ip: 192.168.2.xx/24). Downloading the taptap.c version referenced on the retrocomputinggeek.com webpage results in an empty file/blank page in browser). I tried two different versions of taptap: taptap-1.0.tar.bz2 (http://www.munted.org.uk/programming/taptap/) and taptap-modified.c (http://www.itsecuritygeek.com/files/taptap-modified.c) Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks -ron =============================================================================== Ron Young [email protected] _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
