When I try accessing the web version of MIM's node database, I get a connection refused error, the URL is: http://madame.update.uu.se/~bqt/nodedb
This literally started a few minutes ago.

Really!
Yep. Do you know Bill Gunshannon?
Yup. It's a smaller world than you may think! ;)
Indeed. ;) I've pulled a few truckloads of stuff, his "retirement haul",
out of his place. Most recently a few weeks ago, but it started last year.
Bill is a great guy. But his basement steps are murder. ;) All of his
(and Terry's) PDP-11/44s are here. Along with some TU81s, including the one
that cut a tape for me 25 years ago. (Kermit)
I once spent an afternoon with Terry in his place in Jersey City. One would
never have guessed, from the looks of the place outside, what he had and was
running on the inside.
I'll bet! I myself never had the pleasure.
There are some photos of the place on his web site (mostly background of
the photos of his car).
Oooh! I will check it out! URL? (Googling him is, erm, difficult. Try
it and you'll see what I mean. ;))
His web site is his initials: TMK http://www.tmk.com

VAXman, is the DECNET on EISNER actually connected to anything?
Not likely. There was a time but EISNER moved from the home of its old
caretaker (Terry Kennedy) to its new location and it is now just stand-

I've had plenty to do with Terry over the years, but I've never met him
in person. How is he nowadays?
As an interesting note on stuff from Terry, in the early 90s, I shipped
a crate of VAX 86x0 cards from Terry to Sweden. Unfortunately, they got
lost somewhere along the way. Never saw or heard of that stuff again. :-(
But Terry was very nice to donate the stuff in the first place.
I haven't spoken/emailed with him in years. There were some fallings out
with Terry and the DECUS crowd and he reclused himself. I had nothing to
do with those dealings.

Well that should make things simpler connection-wise, even if they had to change area / node number since there's only one box anyway. Let's hope the rest of the admins go for it.
