So who's looking forward to all the cheap second-hand Itanium gear that will soon be flooding the market?

Incidentally folks, there's a reason why your hardware is that noisy. It happens that the processor inside runs very hot. And the fans inside are working night and day to keep it cool. Interesting article. Oh and according to the people on the lists I belong to regarding the IBM mainframe, that really means just barely runs there. Oracle just might run on the Intel based hardware that IBM actually still makes but I wouldn't recommend it. And neither would they. Now why are there two yetis in your yard, Sampsa? ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

SIMH VAX Project

And... GORVAX:: is twice the speed of a real 3900 that it emulates! SGC:: is about equal to the speed of a real 3900 and it takes for ever for SSH to come up so I no longer use it. -Steve -----Original Message----- From: owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE [mailto:owner-hecnet at Update.UU.SE] On Behalf Of Sampsa Laine Sent: Monday, July 04, 2011 14:12 To: hecnet at Update.UU.SE Subject: Re: [HECnet] SIMH VAX Project On GORVAX, Multinet's SSHD takes about 2-3 mins to get through the login.

Normally either backspace or delete work okay for backspacing 1 character at a time but in xterm neither works as expected. That's because your options in xterm is wrong. :-) You can configure xterm to send either BS or DEL when you hit that key above CR. You want it to send DEL. It's only nitwits who think that backspace should delete. :-) Johnny
