The individual words are fine, but this sentence makes no sense.

I could not find sufficient space for such a large object anywhere reasonable.

Shipping to Lebanon would be inconvenient I think..
I MIGHT manage a VAXstation 9000 but with the power here, I don't think I could keep it up 24/7...

There is ALWAYS room for a REAL PDP-11! :-)
I just picked up four (4) PDP-11/73's in the BA23 boxes.

That's right. I run a PDP-11/93 and RSTS/E on simh, but I desperately wish I could tack down something genuine. However, getting a hold of that stuff in Australia (especially WA) seems to be an exercise in futility.

Sampsa, there is no substitute for real iron :-)
That said, the area router is a simh VAXserver 3900. No use to run it without a "working system". If it helps in checking the HECnet statistics then I'll run it!
With any luck I will be able to hook you up with a DECbrouter in the next couple weeks and you can join the GRE-mesh.

So I ran a simple script that tried to get the executable characteristics of a node, for each node in the nodedb.
I was surprised to see that only 33 systems seemed to be online.
I thought there would've been more up.
Any way, here's the list of nodes that were shown as up:
ALEPH
AXPEE
B4GATE
BIGV7K
BUBBLE
DS20
EBOLA
ERSATZ
FRACK
FRICK
GLGMSH
GORVAX
HALO
HILANT
HPIVAX
JOCKE
K4VX2
KRYLBO
KUHAVX
LABVAX
MAISA
MIM
ORAV23
PLUTO
PONDUS
PYFFLE
SGC
SHAMS
SIMVAX
SLAVE
SOL
STRGTE
STUPI
VAX780

For others concerned about dwindling numbers of hosts, you'll be happy to hear that I am finally getting DSL installed after a 13 month wait!
It even comes with a static IP.
So some time in early March, I'll be powering up BEIRUT, the only HECnet node in the Middle East.
I _MIGHT_ even bring over an actual VAXstation 9000 to run it, but electricity here is even more expensive and delivered by two entities: The State (for 20 hours a day) and the local mobsters (the other 4 hours). I think an UPS is essential, there's a sort of 2-3 minute cut when they switch over.
It's not that bad really, some areas get as little as 4 hours / day, if any, from the state. The State + mobsters don't want to annoy the people in power so poor people get less electricity, rich areas like mine get the most.
