I was looking for some kind of information in a web-accessible format. Not that people would need to log into a system, register, and so on...

Guys. Do anyone maintain a list of public machines that guests would be welcome to log in to in a form presentable from the web? People in comp.os.vms are asking about public VMS systems around, and it might be an opportunity to make HECnet a little more publicly visible.
I know that I've kept HECnet at a very low profile for a long time, but maybe a little exposure would be positive? Or people prefer us to remain secret?
I do from time to time tell about MIM, but I'm not saying much about any other system, or HECnet in general.

I like this idea. It would be fun to expose more people to DECnet in
a "not corporate" environment.

Did you forget UP.Update.UU.SE ?
Victor must have had some sort of image to set it UP :)
Doh! My memory is short. :-)

The (original from MIT) handwritten label on the front of the
rightmost one says "This is ML.AI, an ITS".
Very nice!
Here is something you might find interesting (or, what I did two weeks ago):

I think the disk images from AI were preserved, but I think that because
of all the guest accounts and so on, they have never been spread.
Which is weird, because for quite a while, the complete snapshots of
both AI and MC were available for anonymous FTP (and of course there was
no file protection on ITS while there were still live machines). So I
understand the retroactive motivation, but that horse was never even IN
the barn.
Oh, I agree. I never considered my files on AI to be secret either, and wouldn't mind if someone found them.
But I know I have read about that concern, when it comes to the images of AI. They didn't have the formal approval of the people owning all those files, so they would need to scrub the images before anything could be made available. I think it has partly been a question of making any ITS disk image available for people who want a running system. I don't know what the status is these days. Are there any ITS disk images around so that people could install it on an emulator?
There is this one:
ftp://mini-me.trailing-edge.com/pub/PI-ITS-RP06.0-dbd9.bz2
Hello!
I quite agree. However take a look at what was involved to create
those preloaded images for the PDP-11 that once kept a crowd of
high-school students amused over in Delaware for many years. It was
involving and it can't be describe here politely.
