I dunno, I'd want something more than storing it on someone else's
hardware. Especially when that someone else is a huge corporation,
subject to corporate whims. Your data could go away at any time.
So, backup to your tape library? :p

I'd love one of those crazy Soviet PDP-11 clones they made home computers out of, I think the brand was Elektronika or something.
Might have to put my uncle in St Pete on a hunting mission.
They show up on eBay with some regularity. They're supposed to be
really nice machines.

Ahh, a young'n! I've got about a decade on you. But still,
approximately thirty times as much archived email. Your spools are lean
'n trim, my friend!
And I lost a bunch of mails when I used my buddy's "hosting" service,
said buddy never having heard of RAID or backups.
Eeeeek!

All I can do is NCP LOOP your node, and FAL says no files found.
Is CTERM turned on or?
As Paul explained earlier, there's no CTERM under RSTS/E. I have to
find the package that he mentioned in his post and get it installed.
I reach the system over the network for login sessions via LAT.

How complete are your -2020s?
They're both complete, but one of the two has a nonfunctional console
board. I need MASSbus drives to get them running. I have an RM02, but
it's in really bad shape and will likely require repairs.
Does the 11/750 work?
Not yet, but it's close.
Is that an iMac G4 I see?
It is.
