It's not a VMS issue per se I think - something to do with SIMH and the network interface. I might have a play later.

I've replaced the server that ran my bridge and GORVAX, unfortunately there's something REALLY broken with GORVAX that I just can't figure out right now (and don't really have the time to, either). Anyway, RHESUS and CHIMPY are up, CHIMP should be up RSN. GORVAX will be down for a little while longer, as will the Fidonet mail gateway. Sampsa

Hi Bob, everyone
That is helpful! At least I know you're OK. I lost the link, then my IP changed, and I couldn't trace to charon ... a perfect storm of sorts.
Meanwhile, it's snowing here in Ohio.

Well, it was an iMac and the only other things stolen were a few laptops that were fairly recent so I'm sure they're fenceable for some decent money pretty quickly.
I think these guys were pros, they left no mess or anything so all in all I'm pleased with the service.

Of course it is completely pointless to steal such items. Reminds me of
the time I had a pair of wings stolen off one model aircraft and the
body off another. You can only help feel sorry for such toerags for
having such pathetic lives to have to resort to such bollocks.

Luckily my slightly dizzy yet helpful flatmate should be returning this
evening - I will take my chances and ask her to powercycle the box..

Hello!
Let me guess, you are quite away from your part of the UK, and your
flatmate is also, but much closer
But please define "slightly dizzy yet helpful flatmate...." I am
wondering why you are using such an interesting term.
