[Simh] Connecting to Ethernet

Thanks for the offer.

I'm using Ubuntu (Kernel 2.6.38)

I downloaded dnprogs-2.53.tar.gz and poked around some of the document files.  I was overwhelmed.  Some tips to continue from this point would be appreciated.

Do I understand correctly?  If I install these tools on Linux, I'll be able to communicate with SIMH VAX DECnet.  Like NODE::COPY, PHONE and other toys?

I'm not interested (at this time) in Clustering.  I have a real VAX and real Alpha that I may Cluster with SIMH VAX in the future though.  Just for fun of course.

David.

> Easy for you to say!!  :)  I can't even find the basic Linux documentation.  The stuff that comes with the download is very confusing.  I can't figure out where to start.

There's plenty of documentation, but it's scattered all over the
place. What distribution are you using?

I use Debian myself, but Red Hat Enterprise Linux is well documented -
take a look:

https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/docs/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/

Now, where can I get RHEL, you say? The answer is, you can't unless
you pay for it - the name, that is. The name RHEL is trademarked, but
the content is free. So here comes the CentOS distribution, which is
an exact clone of RHEL, except under a different name.

http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=15

Anyway, if you tell me what distro you're using, I can point you to
some appropriate docs.

Cheers,
Nathan
