[HECnet] Hooking up TOPS-20 to HECnet?

Hello! I quite agree. However take a look at what was involved to create those preloaded images for the PDP-11 that once kept a crowd of high-school students amused over in Delaware for many years. It was involving and it can't be describe here politely. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Which is weird, because for quite a while, the complete snapshots of both AI and MC were available for anonymous FTP (and of course there was no file protection on ITS while there were still live machines). So I understand the retroactive motivation, but that horse was never even IN the barn. Oh, I agree. I never considered my files on AI to be secret either, and wouldn't mind if someone found them. But I know I have read about that concern, when it comes to the images of AI. They didn't have the formal approval of the people owning all those files, so they would need to scrub the images before anything could be made available. I think it has partly been a question of making any ITS disk image available for people who want a running system. I don't know what the status is these days. Are there any ITS disk images around so that people could install it on an emulator?
