And GORVAX is off to the land of the borken for now, in Amsterdam myself so unable to dedicate too much time to fixing it.

PDXVAX had crashed at some point in the past, and I hadn't bothered to bring
the link back up. I just started Multinet, so the link is back up.

I use simh all the time. If I can help I will be around most of the weekend.
My only task this weekend is dealing with the snow on the driveway. So far we have had 5+ inches. They expect another 5-7 more. The snow blower went through this last pass in 90 minutes.

It's not a VMS issue per se I think - something to do with SIMH and the network interface. I might have a play later.

I've replaced the server that ran my bridge and GORVAX, unfortunately there's something REALLY broken with GORVAX that I just can't figure out right now (and don't really have the time to, either). Anyway, RHESUS and CHIMPY are up, CHIMP should be up RSN. GORVAX will be down for a little while longer, as will the Fidonet mail gateway. Sampsa

Hi Bob, everyone
That is helpful! At least I know you're OK. I lost the link, then my IP changed, and I couldn't trace to charon ... a perfect storm of sorts.
Meanwhile, it's snowing here in Ohio.

Well, it was an iMac and the only other things stolen were a few laptops that were fairly recent so I'm sure they're fenceable for some decent money pretty quickly.
I think these guys were pros, they left no mess or anything so all in all I'm pleased with the service.

Of course it is completely pointless to steal such items. Reminds me of
the time I had a pair of wings stolen off one model aircraft and the
body off another. You can only help feel sorry for such toerags for
having such pathetic lives to have to resort to such bollocks.
