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

by md.benson＠gmail.com

I strongly suspect that's one reason I got my zx6000 so cheap. Itanium is about to become an ex-technology I suspect! Incidentally, if anyone comes across front, top and side covers and the steel pedestal stand for a zx6000 I need them. -- Mark Benson http://markbenson.org/blog http://twitter.com/MDBenson

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
