According to my old mail archives, I subscribed thus: From pete Thu Feb 26 01:01:17 1998 To: listproc(a)u.washington.edu Reply-To: pete(a)dunnington.u-net.com Status: OR subscribe CLASSICCMP pete(a)dunnington.u-net.com And two days later, in a private email to someone else, I concluded: (signed by Pete, still watching 60+ messages coming off his POP mbox :-( ) It was a fairly busy list even then. > Just out of curiosity, how did you hear about the listserver?

I subscribed after seeing something on a newsgroup, and it was very likely either comp.os.cpm or alt.folklore.computers. Other groups I read then were mostly vmsnet.*, alt.sys.pdp*, alt.sys.perq, comp.sys.acorn.*, uk.telecom, rec.pyrotechnics, a few other comp.sys groups, and the now-dead alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt. -- Pete Peter Turnbull Network Manager University of York

TCP programming question

by RCini＠congressfinancial.com

Hello, all: I'm having trouble tracing down an intermittent problem with the Altair32 Emulator which as you know uses a telnet server to simulate a console. I occasionally seem to get two command prompt lines after hitting <ENTER> wich would lead me to believe a translation issue? Does anyone know if there is CR/LF translation across the telnet channel? For example, if I hit <ENTER> in the telnet client, does that produce <CR> or <CR><LF>? Is it dependent on the client settings? The simple Windows telnet client provides only VT52 and VT100 emulation. A quick search of the MSDN does not reveal any mention of CR/LF translation in bind, listen, accept, connect, recv, or send. Any thoughts? Rich ========================== Richard A. Cini, Jr. Congress Financial Corporation 1133 Avenue of the Americas 30th Floor New York, NY 10036 (212) 545-4402 (212) 840-6259 (facsimile)

So that the whole slab tips when the water that enters the space ! freezes. Some of us older folks remember when Canada's approach to ! frost heaving was gravel roads - much easier to repair! Hey, a _lot_ of seconday roads in Vermont (outside of the few major cites) are still gravel, cruched stone, & dirt mix. During the winter, they don't really plow the dirt roads all that much. Just pack the sonw down. Works quite well for them.

The UK101 is nearly all stock parts for easy replacement (as long as you don't go to maplins :) but I don't want to blow things...... cheers a

VAX 11/780s - Masscomp - Valid equipment available

Hi Pat, > From: Pat Finnegan <pat(a)purdueriots.com> > How big is your smalled 9track tape drive, where are your located, and > would you be willing to ship? Also, how big/heavy is a DECWRITER III? The smallest 9-track would be the slot loading Cipher F880640-90-1025U from the Valid systems. It fits a standard 19" rack and is about 8-9" tall and probably 24" deep. A quick hefting of the drive feels like 70-90lb. The front load StorageTek units are also rack mount, but are about 24" tall. After removing one yesterday I would say it weighs about a ton, but more likely about 100lb. Two people would be a very good idea. A Decwriter is like an oversize typewriter with its own table. The Decwriters are the consoles for the VAXEN, so I would think they should stay together, unless the new VAX owners don't want them. Later, Jon Jon Auringer auringer(a)tds.net Madison, WI

I was just thinking the same thing. I'd love to have something for my MicroVAX other than the normal "MFM" type disks.

Hi Emanuel, > I would be interested in one/two of the 11/780 ... > (and documentation) > When you talk about a short time frame, what do you mean by that ? As I mentioned before, I don't know how long I will be here. Our building has been sold and we have to be out by the end of march at the very latest. I do not have that long to get rid of stuff. We are currently dumping everything that has been deemed junk. Junk includes this equipment. It would be best if I could get arrangements made in the next couple of weeks. If nothing else, If I could find someone locally to temporarily store some stuff until arrangements can be made for everyone to get what they want. Where are you located? Jon

Or am I right in assuming >I need to match exactly? Wow !! I remember the UK101, they were great fun :-) 100nF at 50V or 220nF at 25V in fine for supply decoupling caps, they're not that critical.
