Now *that* I like. :)
Hopefully not to drift too far OT but ...
I have a few instances of Hercules running on my main Linux machine, some runinng, most are not - while I am amazed at the great strides folks both on the OS side and Hercules have done, I'd actually like to **do** something with them (similar to the "crazy" stuff I see being done with the various DEC OSes by folks on the list). If I could retire and had limitness time I'm sure I could write something, but still ... Anyone on the HECNet list doing anything interesting with VM/370, MVS 3.8J, MUSIC/SP or any other legal-to-run OS on Hercules?

Yes, Peter have some really nice toys... I'm just waiting for the day when he'll have them all up and running.

Depends, what special stuff would I need? ;)

Hey, might I be welcome to grab a copy of these as well?
Yeah, what he said :-)
At least for the kits that aren't on the Montagar Hobbyist CDROM.
Thanks,

Hello!
I thought both X.25 was largely an obsolete protocol, that did so
about the time dialup service became largely old news?
And what finally became of the idea of implementing dialup (Over POTS)
to take over when our largely persistent connections become not
working?
Incidentally Dave right now there is a large furry annoyed and rather
wet individual attempting to cause major mayhem in your area. Sampsa a
troll is busy building a roadblock over a bridge near you.

I've seen one or two weird things in Phase V backward compatibility in
the past, but for the most part, it works just fine.
In a previous job, we reluctantly had to use Phase V on Alpha VMS. I never saw
any problems with compatibility with Phase IV but despite numerous patches,
there were reliability issues (and to a lesser extent performance issues) that
never quite went away until the application requiring Phase V was withdrawn and
we were able to "upgrade" to Phase IV again :-)

Peter Coghlan.
I don't think anything aside from a static IP and a VAX machine running Phase V and X.25..
