"MOPing" between DEC-servers

Alon Jacob — Wed, 01 Sep 2004 05:55:12 GMT

When I connect to a DEC90L series server (using MC NCP CONNECT or ST H/MOP) I can shift to another DEC-server using MOP command and the other server's mac-address.
Now I have a new DEC90M server, which I connect to using telnet.
My question is - what command can I use to shift to another DEC90L server on the same network?

Hi Alon,
now I have not Dec90M on my hand but I guess is same command of Dec90L.
Remember you can connect to 90M using MC NCP connect same as 90L.

If the servers are IP'd, then type the following:
TELNET xx.xx.xx.xx (address of server).
This should take you to the # prompt on the server you are connecting to. From there on it should be business as usual.
Yours Terry.

Hi all.

The other servers are not IPd, and the command MOP does not work on DEC90m.

Any other ideas?

Alon,
AFAIK you can connect to DecServer only via Decnet or via telnet.

May exists, perhaps, a solution but I guess it is no good for you. If I remember, you could create a local LAT service on every decserver and then connect to it; but this means create a service on every decserver (bleah) and then theese service are visible form all terminal emulator or server (uh security bye)
