You know that ftp is way faster than NFT? And you can just do "ftp
mim.update.uu.se:10021" on your RSX host, assuming you have a new enough
version that it accepts the port number...
Once the firewall is gone, life will become so much more sane again...
(Not sure what issues you might have had with the DECnet link. Maybe
just a timeout issue? It can take a while to recover if the link is lost.)

Al,
I don't think MIM has been down, but my PDP-11/83 thought it was after
Johnny brought out this latest version of TCP/IP for RSX11M+. My symptoms were
that the HECnet link went down and did not come back up and I could not FTP
from RSX to grab the new .TAP
I was able to TELNET to MIM via my iMAC and FTP the image to it. Then I
rebooted the PDP-11/83 and HECnet came back up so I NFTed the .TAP file down
to the 11/83 and installed the new version. Now everything is perfect.
Not sure what was going on, but try a reboot of your PDP-11 and see if that
lets you see MIM.

Thanks for your efforts!

Subject: [HECnet] Announcing TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS
Time for a new release announcement of TCP/IP for RSX-11M-PLUS.
There have been some improvements in reliability and stability done in the last
few months. Part of this is because MAGICA (the real PDP-11/70 that I use) have
finally started coming alive again, and running on that machine exposed some
issues related to running out of primary pool (nothing like running on slower,
real hardware).
I seriously recommend that people upgrade, as some of these fixes are fixing
issues that could crash your system.
Things that have been done since the last release:
ARP:
- Bugfix in ARP processing. If system was running out of primary pool, kernel
structures could become corrupted.
IP:
- Bugfix in fragment reassembly. It could cause a system crash under some
circumstances.
TCP:
- Bugfix in daemon activation. If system was running out of primary pool, data
corruption in the kernel could happen under some circumstances.
DHCP:
- Improved option processing, added NTP server option handling, added hostname
option to requests. Generally improved stability of code.
Multinet:
- Improved stability and reliability of code.
FTP/FTPD:
- Improved file handling. In RSX mode, if the file to transfer was readonly,
the transfer would fail, as the file protection was applied to the file before
it had been completed.
- Added the ability to provide a port to connect to for FTP client.
TELNET:
- Turned off terminal wrap when running telnet.
TELNETD:
- Added the ability to listen on several ports.
- Fixed issues related to running on mP systems.
HTTPD:
- Changed timeout handling for sessions.
As usual, the distribution is available from:
ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.dsk
ftp://mim.update.uu.se/bqtcp.tap
ftp://ftp.update.uu.se/pub/pdp11/rsx/tcpip/tcpip.dsk
The documentation is also available through ftp on Mim, or also at
http://mim.update.uu.se/tcpipdoc
As Mim is behind a firewall, which at the moment is blocking incoming ftp and
telnet (we are working on getting that removed again), an alternative is to
connect to Mim as Mim.Update.UU.SE:10021 (for ftp) and
Mim.Update.UU.SE:10023 (for telnet).
(Guess why the ability to listen to multiple ports for telnet, as well as being
able to give a port argument to ftp came about... ;-) )
