I think that an old Tektronix box was being used for Wavell but when I
joined the Systems team, we started using PCs. Didn't have much to do
with the Packet switch other than connecting to it.
The Chameleon TE32 was used as a conformance tool in the Ptarmigan Test
and Trials.
I really enjoyed getting into the X.25 levels 2,3 and 4 but that was
back in the 90's.
Did a lot of RS 232 comms software back then in DOS on the PC, hence the
need for assembler, just wish that we had Linux to use. I was using
Slakware Linux when it was on floppies but didn't do any programming on
it then. Can't remember when I started using Linux. Did a bit of UNIX
programming with ADA and C on the Sun workstations using Symicron cards.
Am now only programming in for web development in PHP. Using my own CMS
on www.coloursofthesea.org.
We must meet up, so am looking forward to the next get together as I am
in Corfe Mullen, Bmth is good.
