there still has real hardware connected to HECnet however. I do
occasionally, at least for now.
We have a lot of real systems at LSSM that are on HECnet when we have
them powered up:
VAX-11/750 VMS 4.7
VAX-8300 VMS 7.3
VAX-7000 model 720 VMS 7.3
VAX-6000 model 510 VMS 7.3
VAX-4000/90 VMS 7.3
VAX-4000/700a VMS 7.3
MicroVAX-2000 VMS 7.3
MicroVAX-III VMS 7.3
DEC3000-800 VMS 8.2
PDP-11/53 RSTS/E v10.1
PDP-11/70 RSX-11M-PLUS v4.6
PDP-11/44 RSTS/E v10.1
HP rx2660 VMS v8.4
Systems Concepts SC40 TOPS-20 v7
Symbolics XL1201 Genera 8.3
Our VAX-11/780 will hopefully be up and running sometime this winter,
as will the second PDP-11/70. One of the DECsystem-2020s may come up
this winter as well, depending on volunteer time availability. I just
started putting together a MicroVAX-II dual-booting VMS 4.7 and Ultrix,
and will try to get DECnet running under Ultrix on that.
Another project that we may do this winter is getting SGI 4DDN
(DECnet for IRIX) running on one of the Irises.
That's at LSSM. At home, I have a MicroVAX-II and VAX-4000 model 96
running VMS and a PDP-11/83 running RSX-11M-PLUS that are on HECnet when
I have them up and running. Soon a MicroVAX-I will join them.
