The PDP-11 was in Helsinki, I'm in Beirut.
Logistically this was deemed to be not feasible.

Yeah that's the part that's just line noise. What are you sitting on
right now? Couldn't it be a PDP-11 instead? And do you sleep lying
down? That space could be put to better use.

Now that's what I'd call interior design.

If syntax wasn't the issue then semantics probably was. A syntactical analysis won't help you Sampsa:-)

I was offered a PDP-11 but I really had nowhere to put it.
The individual words are fine, but this sentence makes no sense.

Shipping to Lebanon would be inconvenient I think..
I MIGHT manage a VAXstation 9000 but with the power here, I don't think I could keep it up 24/7...

There is ALWAYS room for a REAL PDP-11! :-)
I just picked up four (4) PDP-11/73's in the BA23 boxes.

That's right. I run a PDP-11/93 and RSTS/E on simh, but I desperately wish I could tack down something genuine. However, getting a hold of that stuff in Australia (especially WA) seems to be an exercise in futility.

That said, the area router is a simh VAXserver 3900. No use to run it without a "working system". If it helps in checking the HECnet statistics then I'll run it!
With any luck I will be able to hook you up with a DECbrouter in the next couple weeks and you can join the GRE-mesh.
Regards, Tim.
