Hehe, well, think the idea of what is going to happen came across
anyway. ;)

What im figuering about is (yes I tested without routers and it works
nice) how to easy see all (not just known nodes) in an area (nr 5 in
my case, the last to be put to sleep)
to prevent (me or someone else) to take 5.9 because thats free, its an
old machine, and another guy had the same brilliant idea, been there -
done that, same MAC address on a flat (not swithced network +800 nodes
at that time) is a bit messy to find! so the routing IV was the point
where we updated the NCP list and could see of a new node (5.123 is
always suspicious) came up... eaven the decserver100/200 without
decnet where registerd there for MOP and remote access.

Got one more week before the plant starts up again, and should I
reconf/install an routing IV on the existing systems then it should be
now... othervise the last stop that made this possible until now was
2001 or something... and no I dont want to revive the uVAXII with its
nice RD54 disks or keeping the PDP 11/84 running for this, thank good
we didnt go phase V all the way anyhow... I cant find a thing on
machines with V... if my memory serves me: sho kno links and other
nice stuff is not wat it was... so I downgraded...

Well monday Ill try that NCP command someone said was great, lets see
what that does...

Just a sethost will do the same to check if its alive, but DJD thats
an good ieda for a little DCL, going 1-255 once a day and on demand to
produce an textfile with active nodes.... will think and test if it
