Okay it didn't go so well.. my VAX couldn't boot the file I normally use
with this mopd (I had to rebuild it for a static libelf)...
I've put a tgz up at
http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied/vax/mopd_on_the_vax.tgz
it contains the file I was trying to boot and the tcpdumps of this mopd
and the one I normally use ...
if you need any more info give me a shout ..
Regards,
Dave.
