Of course... :-(
To new readers, let me introduce me.
I was the operator of nodes 10.1 (SHARK) and 10.2 (SNAKE) until I had to reorganize (==
shrink) my server facility and flip the HECNET switch off on July 2010.
SHARK and SNAKE have resurrected from 4 years in limbo, thanks to VirtualBox. They are
PDP's running 11M+. I even discovered a forgotten 10.3 (SQUID), with sysgened PC11 to
spool data from/to Unix pipes.
That was the opportunity to check HECNET community health, and I am pleased to see it is
in great form. This list is one of the more active I subscribe to. I was surprised to see
10.1 and 10.2 in MADAME's nodes table. Is this for real? I thought they had been
purged or reassigned for long.
Virtualization had the side effect to move simh from Mac OS X to Linux, and things are
much more simpler and up-to-date (Apple don't care BSD besides its own needs).
I am now trying to install DECNET for Linux. This will allow to move large sound files
from the ancient world to the present.
