Hi Dave,
Obviously, living in Germantown, MD, I am rearing to drive up - but am
trying to get my ex-boss here too - he lives in Singapore but visits his
daughter in Princeton.
I worked for Digital in my home country of India and traveled around
South Asia fixing various industrial process control type installations
over 1994 - 1996. QCOCAL - my SIMH node on HECnet, was a real node on
Easynet in Calcutta. Used to be in the "SI" (systems integration) group.
My boss had been there much longer. I bailed just before Bob Palmer sold
it to Compaq and went to work in Tokyo.
Will pester you for an appointment some day. I am sure you have
fascinating stories to tell, going back to phone hacking.
Thanks for what you are doing!

Hey, I remember that interview! That was a fun day. Matt, the
journalist, has brought many friends to tour the museum since then.
Not exactly a flattering angle on me in that pic, but I'll take what I
can get. B-)

Easy. Set up an RSX system instead. Then you can transport files between
DECnet and TCP/IP easily, as well as send/receive mail, and run
interactive terminal sessions, and more... :-)
There are many RSX systems here.
I think we're over a dozen now,
between the museum and the systems in my home/work building around the
corner. But we usually don't leave PDP-11s up and running all the time.
