OK, yes, VMS is no different than your HP2100 in this regard. I could get the VMS system console on the serial port using the tactic you describe. I prefer to keep the VMS console separate from my user session, though, so I leave the console in GUI window and use LAT to log in from the VT terminal. Talk about elegance and things just working - LAT is an example of superior DEC engineering. I share Eric's sentiments 100%. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this list who occasionally misses the good old days. It seems like everyone is gripped with a crazy idea that GUIs must be used for everything. I wonder how many billions of pick-a-random-currency have been wasted needlessly converting stable, tested, mature text-interface applications to unstable, untested, constantly-changing GUIs. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
