Brian, I'm in the Netherlands so shipping will be too expensive (I think)

I can't help with the schematics but I do have 2 AS1200 (aka, d|i|g|i|t|a|l
Ultimate Workstation) here in state of disrepair due to CPU/CPU fan failures.
If you want one of the P/S, make me an offer. ;)

If I type the document locally and upload it via Kermit, it sort of

Unfortunately it doesn't keep the ligatures which makes it more or
less useless for Arabic :)
How do you verify that it "works"? What does the document look like on
the Mac? I mean, if you really look at all the bytes. What did you use
to create it?
The letters are all there, but they're not correctly connected
(ligatures) - again, probably a Terminal.app problem, VMS is storing
them just fine.
That could be a question of fixed font width. Would they look ok if you types the same file in Terminal.app but running locally on the Mac?
I've attached two PNGs - what the correctly formatted Arabic should look
like and how Terminal.app displays it. But yeah, I don't think this is a
VMS issue, it seems to happily accept any script thrown at it :)
Even though do (to my eyes) look more like a problem with fixed width fonts, I would be very careful about what to expect when you are dealing with something coded in UTF-8 on VMS, as VMS do not really know about UTF-8, and might in fact interpret and handle your output in ways you might not want.
It would work for Hebrew though
You will most likely have similar issues with any document using any
characters beyond ASCII, since I bet you have a UTF-8 encoded Unicode
text on the Mac.
In Hebrew there are no ligatures so as long as the letters made it,
Terminal.app can't mess it up :)
No, but VMS still can.

In fact, you don't. Open it up, replace the electrolytes. Near them you
may find a blown small element which is not needed really.

Hello!
Search me. It certainly is an interesting gadget. I'd bid on it, if
those clowns, (not the seller) didn't run such an annoying site.

I do recall that they were very popular at newspaper sites, since the area

Many years ago, my old friend Richard Butler (may he rest in peace) ran a
company with a few friends out of his college dorm room at the University of
Maryland. Computer Timeshare Corporation, CTSC. They had a PDP-11/44 and a
smattering of terminals, mostly VT52s. Of course none of them had the
optional printer installed (did anyone actually order that option??) and they
were well-known for carrying these terminals into and out of the dorm on a
regular basis, as they frequently set up temporary systems for things like
convention registration desks, etc.
They used the VT52s' printer bays to smuggle booze into their dorm rooms. :-)
I'm honored to have those very VT52s here.

I might actually have a spare one of those, strangely enough.
My VT-180 will love you forever!
Well in that case, I hope that's actually what I have a spare of! Please
don't get your hopes up just yet, though; after having slept on it, I believe
the spare cover I have may actually be for a VT125.

Excellent, theres too much pron on the internet already, dont want the

Yup. And really...if I can get laid, ANYONE can get laid. I just don't
see the point of all the pr0n.
Is INN really that bad to setup?
Nah. It takes about twenty minutes.
