New subject: Is LEGATO:: down?

24 Sep 2015

Sorry to spam everyone but this is an opportunity somebody here might want.
  I got a call this AM from a vendor that I have purchased used equipment
from in the past (he's local to me in Maynard MA).  He remembered that I'm
a UNIX guy and called me.   He has a client in Attleboro MA (who also has a
site somewhere in Mexico I believe) that has some instance of a Vax system
running some flavor of UNIX (from the description I think its Ultrix).
DECNet is supposed to be involved too some how.   The Vax is having some
disk issues (he thinks is a data overflow - too full disk) and he needs a
SW guy to tell him what's going on.

Frankly, I've got too much on my plate at the moment. He asked me if I knew
anyone that could help him and I said -- well I'm a mailing list of old
systems hackers, one of them might be interested.   To be honest, I don't
expect there is a lot of money in this job, but somebody here might find it
a way to make a few $s or maybe a deal for some used gear. I do not know
anything more, such as if you can do this remotely or you need to go to
Attleboro.

So, if anyone is interested, please  send me a note off-list and I'll pass
on the contact info.

Possible consulting gig for a old UNIX hacker...
