There was a partial implementation for RTS/8 that was, AFAIK, never released. I have some sources for it, but it's unfinished. Bob Hello! About all I found was those sources, on the iBib site. And for the other OS, no hits so far on Google. Steve interesting story, and yes I'm not asking about those three letter agencies. Let me put it to all of you this way. In the book "Cuckoo's Egg" as related by Cliff Stoll, his(?) VAXes were networked, via Ethernet all over the campus, (either running BSD or VMS), but they were connected to the Internet via leased lines. And in a Doctor Who book, who's reasonably accurate on the DEC based side of things, and lousy on the desktop side, there are PDP-11s and possibly a few early Vaxes. and even an Eclipse. What I am curious about is how the PDP-11s talked to DEC Net based systems. And which ones of the R* operating systems could be confused into doing that, and in what ways. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
