Do you have the proper settings for the hercules.cnf to activate
the HIM code for d6.0?
Hi John!
While Mike would certainly be the person to provide a definitive answer to that, I believe I might be able to help you, having reviewed his code before having approved it for inclusion into Hercules.
If you take a look at "Supported Device Types" table on our Configuration File web page (), you will see there are three new device types that are now supported: TLNT, TCPH and UDPH.
While I have no idea what the difference is between the three (since I know absolutely *nothing* about MTS!), if you click on the link provided in the "Emulated by" column, it should take you to:
*
where it states:
"These device types emulate the Host Interface Machine (HIM)
devices that are used to connect a host running The Michigan
Terminal System (MTS) to the Internet. The device type (TLNT,
TCPH, or UDPH) should match the device type configured into MTS."
"The only parameter is the IP address the emulated interface
should bind to."
So simply defining one or more of those devices in your Hercules configuration files looks like all you need to activate the new HIM code. Herc's sample configuration even lists three examples:
621-62B UDPH 10.0.0.46
62C-643 TLNT 10.0.0.46
644-64F TCPH 10.0.0.46
As I said, I don't know the particulars regarding which type to use nor how many of them you need to define (since that's an MTS thing), I suspect anyone familiar with MTS, such as you, would know.
Hope that helps!
I know the TCP/IP support in d6.0 is primitive, but I'd like to
play around with it.
So would I! But I know absolutely NOTHING about MTS, and unfortunately don't really have the time to learn it. :(
(That's the drawback of being a Hercules developer: you spend all your time working on Hercules with no free time left over to actually PLAY with Hercules! It's you Hercules users that get to have all the fun.)
