I wasn't thinking that I'd run them in

Now I just need to dig out my old Hobbyist License number and see if
it is still valid. It goes back to when DEC and DECUS existed, and was

Johnny - if it would help, I can bring up a SIMH VAX on a VPS in Canada
with MULTINET installed and you can do whatever you like with it. Just
let me know the area/node and remote IP and Port for MULTINET and give
me a few hours to get on it later tonight if you want to pursue that path.
