Really!
Yep. Do you know Bill Gunshannon?
Yup. It's a smaller world than you may think! ;)
Indeed. ;) I've pulled a few truckloads of stuff, his "retirement haul",
out of his place. Most recently a few weeks ago, but it started last year.
Bill is a great guy. But his basement steps are murder. ;) All of his
(and Terry's) PDP-11/44s are here. Along with some TU81s, including the one
that cut a tape for me 25 years ago. (Kermit)
I once spent an afternoon with Terry in his place in Jersey City. One would
never have guessed, from the looks of the place outside, what he had and was
running on the inside.
I'll bet! I myself never had the pleasure.
There are some photos of the place on his web site (mostly background of
the photos of his car).
Oooh! I will check it out! URL? (Googling him is, erm, difficult. Try
it and you'll see what I mean. ;))

I've had plenty to do with Terry over the years, but I've never met him in person. How is he nowadays?
As an interesting note on stuff from Terry, in the early 90s, I shipped a crate of VAX 86x0 cards from Terry to Sweden. Unfortunately, they got lost somewhere along the way. Never saw or heard of that stuff again. :-(
But Terry was very nice to donate the stuff in the first place.

Well that should make things simpler connection-wise, even if they had to change area / node number since there's only one box anyway. Let's hope the rest of the admins go for it.

Cool, thanks. I hope they're open to the idea, I don't see any major obstacles myself (they've already got DECNET installed, MULTINET will make a simple connection, and they're open to the public via IP anyway).
Just remember to mention that there are a lot of other systems than VMS on HECnet which could be interesting for their userbase.
