Hello! I seem to recall that on another list, the subject what did DECnet support caused a similar flurry of things to be discussed. Even a partial discussion of that protocol over serial lines for either the PDP-11 using those protocols, or possibly OS/8 on the PDP-8 family was suggested.
But I suspect, sir, that you're right. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
