[HECnet] RHESUS is (finally) up again

I'm going to order a whole bunch of null-modem cables and wire them into my DECserver 200 - wire up CHIMPY, CHIMPY and RHESUS through it that way - I assume it's possible to connect from one serial port on a DS to another?

God that is the stupidest cable I've ever seen. :-) Maybe I should post a photo of what I have to do in order to connect a cable to MONK. :-) The weight means I have to have something under it to support it. Though this morning it was that stupid VT420 that I'm currently using that was giving me fits. There is something not quite right about that particular terminal, and one of these days I'm going to have to dig up a better system console. Zane -- | Zane H.
