So guys,
This is getting REALLY competitive and the US players are complaining about ping times to a UK based server - the high-frequency trading equivalent of retrogaming.
So my question: Is anyone willing to host this on a US-based telnetable VMS box as a captive account?

Guys, log on to CHIMPY:: as TETRIS and see if you can beat the current high score.
I'm being all Web 2.0 and Social Media about this so there's even a FB page dedicated to the competition:

Johnny, I renumbered QAMAR, SHAMS, LABVAX and KUHAVX as well as SOLAR5 to area 47.
Can you update the node database?
Will do, later tonight. As well as sign you up on area 47.

I'm easy either way :)
Easier if you pick an area noone have spoken for, just in case... Or else contact the person that signed up for that area, and sort it out with him.

That's possible. I feel like he'd have mentioned it, though.
(and if he did, Jen will never let him have the hardware ;))
SIMH on the Raspberry PI for the win! :-D
There's that. Also, he's got a VMware host on his home network; "new
machines" can just pop into existence on there with no spousal

Once I've got it built (i'll just do the screen thing for now) we can start adding wizbang feature to it.

I suggest you launch simh in a screen, so one can log in and do a screen -Dr to get the console.
Sampsa
Make a quick and dirty webif using ajaxterm/a java telnet client with simh listening for telnet connections.
It's a bit of a crazy idea though...and a bit too much work.
But if you do that...also add one-click RSTS provisioning!
Yeah, just using screen is fine.

You know, on that note, what does everyone think about the idea of a vmware appliance? Just a small trim linux install with simh?
