Very cool! I just got my Multics system up and running this last Sunday. I was a systems
analyst on DPS-8 mainframes running GCOS-8 from ?90-93. I?ve come to the conclusion that
not only is that knowledge all evaporated from my head, it also wouldn?t really help with
Multics. :-)
How on earth did you manage to hook Multics up to HECnet?
I connected as a guest, am I correct that you have a bunch of Multics software that?s not
available as part of the standard build?

Greetings,
Time to update those node databases ... BAN.AI Public Access Multics, the premier public
access Multics system, has joined HECnet, as node number 1.770 (BANAI).
It's just an initial implementation (based on the Linux DECnet source) and
performance is lacking, but I hope to get things better optimized and support more
services in the near future.
There are currently 16 outgoing channels for HECnet connections, and up to 128
dynamically allocated incoming login channels.
Outgoing connections to HECnet are allowed only for registered users, but any incoming
login from the Internet or HECnet is permitted, including anonymous Guest users.
For more information, you can visit https://ban.ai/ <https://ban.ai/>, ssh or mosh
to dps8 at m.trnsz.com <mailto:dps8 at m.trnsz.com>, or SET HOST to BANAI/1.770.
Feel free to request an account or ask any questions.
