Hello everyone,
days ago there was some debate about which Digital systems other than VMS
could run DECnet Phase IV... This is the proof that TOPS-10 can! :)
This is a CTERM connection:

All the usual services work both ways, with the sole exception of Phone that
doesn't exist on TOPS-10. I'm still learning how to use and configure the
Thing, and as a matter of facts I'm still running with security disabled.
The OS is TOPS-10 7.04 with the latest patches (TSU04, December 1990). The
emulator is Ken Harrenstien's KLH10 release 2.0h (Panda distribution) and
the tape images come from the Trailing Edge PDP-10 repository.
Thanks to everyone at alt.sys.pdp10 and to Beethoven's 9th Symphony. :)
Bye,
G.
P.S.: DIECI means ten in Italian. :)
