Never really resolved the SSH thing. Might move all my machines to MULTINET anyway, it seems a better stack overall.

How is the service launched? On Linux (most sane distributions) there
is an rc script who launches the opensshd service. Of course this
depends. All I know about VMS is that it has the staying power of a
herd of elephants.
Which reminds me, why is there a trash can peering into your flat and
taking notes?

Hello!
What "stuff"? Do you mean your boot sale stuff? What finally happened
regarding the SSH issue?

Hi,
I've been trying not to post random questions here, but I have to ask so I can decide if I should put this drive in storage or clean it up and buy a couple of tapes for it.
I have a Compaq DLT4000 series 20/40 GB tape drive (also known as a Tx88 in DEC parlance I think?) in an external cabinet (a big old lump) with HD50 SCSI ports on the back. It's a nice piece of engineering, very much still DEC-esque in it's build quality and no-nonsense construction.
I basically would like to know if it would be supported in either VMS 7.3 on a VAX or VMS 8.3 on an Alpha, and perhaps how to utilise it if it is. I am used to using 'tar' and 'mt' on UNIX but never looked at using tapes *inside* the OS on VMS.
The TZ88 (DLT4000) is fully supported in VMS as per V6.2.
It is very useful as it is capable of reading all the earlier generations DLT tapes.
Just run the cleaning tape and off you go.
Btw. If you want to have a DLT drive repaired (when it just gives errors despite of cleaning), contact me. I can offer you repair service for a very reasonable price.

The most common utility would be backup. As in:
Backup/image dkao: mka100:saveset.bck

My guess is that it will work just fine. VMS supports tapes over SCSI, and this is just another tape over SCSI.
As for how yuo use it, that is up to you. BACKUP can write backups to it, or you can initialize and mount it, and just copy files to/from it like any other device (well, not like any other, since tapes have some different characteristics, but it will pretty much work as you would expect). DIR works on such tapes, but you cannot delete files, nor modify existing files.
Or you can just mount it foreign, and do whatever you want on it at a low level with your own programs...

I had heard that a significant portion of SMS text messages world-wide are
routed via VMS systems. I suppose it might be true since OpenVMS seems to be
used for mobile network infrastructure.

Hello!
I knew that. I also know that there are a substantial amount of
