The address is used on all its interfaces. G Since each DECnet area needs an area router (to connect to other areas)  you'd need two area routers.K The next rule is that area routers must be directly connected: they must be 	 adjacent.   K Your next question is about direction of traffic. The only way to implement  thatH is in security rules. Example: write your own command procedures and put them in ncl with appropriate ACL's.  

Since we couldn't find G a free, public VAX server on the internet, we decided to get one to put F on the net ourselves.  Some of you may remember late last year when weF officially announced its first public release.  It was up for a while,E but after some complications, it had to be moved to another location. G After some hassles with a new ISP for several months, we finally got it C up and running.  Hobbes (as it has been dubbed) features a standard D compliment of compilers, utilities, phone (chat app), and much more.D The website has recently had a major overhaul.  The color scheme wasF redone, and many improvements were added.  We have an almost unlimitedF capacity for expanding now, as we are paying for web hosting.  We haveG access to many features which we never used to have, such as custom 404 G error messages, an SSL server, secured web directories, CGI access, ftp # server access, and much, much more.   G On another note, Hobbes went down recently due to unknown reasons.  All B we can tell is that the registry on the Windows router machine wasG pretty badly damaged.  We think this was the result of a hack.  This is G rather unfortunate, as it requires a complete system reinstall.  Hobbes G itself was unaffected, but without the Windows machine, there is no way F to route the internet acess through to it.  This happened on Friday orF Saturday this week, and Steve has not had time to fix the machine.  WeH hope to have it back up on the internet as soon as possible, so read our" webpage for updated on its status.  F Visit us at http://www.hobbesthevax.com.  If you are not familiar withF Hobbes already, we suggest that you read the FAQ.  Currently, you haveE to email us to manually set up an account on Hobbes, but this will be F changing soon, as we will be adding a CGI app to automate the process. Come visit our site!   -Mike      http://www.hobbesthevax.com    ------------------------------  % Date: Sun, 20 Aug 2000 07:25:22 +0200   From: Paul Sture <paul@sture.ch>3 Subject: Re: OpenVMS / Alpha Web Server - Frontpage + Message-ID: <VA.000000a6.0322f125@sture.ch>   1 In article <8nitqv$7nd$1@nnrp1.deja.com>,  wrote:  > From: steliosc@my-deja.com > Newsgroups: comp.os.vms 1 > Subject: OpenVMS / Alpha Web Server - Frontpage % > Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 08:58:14 GMT  > , > Greetings creatures from the planet Earth! > D >   Does anybody out there have any good ideas how to publish snazzyG > sites on VMS?
