(What specialty does this machine do?) And for another how did the machine in question get named? Eisner is the DECUSserve system originally sanctioned by DECUS many years ago. DECUSserve has been many different architectures over the years but it is now an Alpha running OpenVMS. Eisner refers to the late Dan Eisner who was instrumental in developing the DECUSserve concept/system. I can cite complex examples behind why my machines get their names, its almost a definite cause to change the subject. Star Wars? Star Trek? Dr. Who? Dr. Seuss?? :) Once those are answered we can go back to beating that protocol model with those things. 16lbs slegdehammer coming your way.
