Dumb question about Annex Terminal Server

by sales＠elecplus.com

I am going to show my ignorance here. Steve wants an Annex terminal server for his dial-up project. We use a VT420 to test the external modems, and they dial out and connect just fine. What does an Annex Terminal Server do? Why is one needed for terminals to connect, if a VT420 connects just fine? Cindy Croxton

Ssh for 2.11bsd?

I concur with others who are leery of the compute load. Some time ago, I blithely plopped a version of SSH on my NeXT 68040 cube: mtapley2> ssh -h ssh: SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9.1 (NEXTSTEP) on i386-next-openstep4 Copyright (c) 1995-2002 SSH Communications Security Corp SSH is a registered trademark and Secure Shell is a trademark of SSH Communications Security Corp (www.ssh.com). All rights reserved. See LICENSE file for usage and distribution terms. The comments are wrong, it?s a 68040, I?ve seen it, and the OS is NS 3.2. :-) Then, logging in from my MacBook on the same local net: mtapley3:dnetc518-macosx-amd64 mtapley$ ssh me at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx <...17 clock seconds later...> me at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx's password: (edited my user name and IP address, obviously).

SW 0:06 (sshd2) ? Tolerable RAM footprint on the NeXT, looks severe to me for a PDP. Note, distributed.net is running in the background on the Cube and it?s not really as ?nice? as it claims it is, so an unloaded 68040 would be faster. However I think it?s reasonable to assume 10 seconds of crunch for a 25 MHz 68040 with nothing else running. sftp to that box is notably slower than ftp as well, If you need I can run comparisons but at this point it?s deep into YMMV territory. Hopefully that?ll help guess what a PDP 11 would be able to do. I have not done any attempt at optimizing or testing non-default encryption methods. - Mark

Pdp8 on ebay

by roe＠liveblockauctions.com

There is a pdp8 up for sale on ebay that I would love to add to my DEC collection, but I don't want to bid it up way beyond what it's worth. If someone on the cctalk list wants it, just let me know, and I'll duck. Thanks.

More FreeBee patches (it's now mostly usable)

by andreww591＠gmail.com

I have added a few more patches for FreeBee. I added mouse support, fixed booting from the hard disk, and fixed the intermittent hang on boot (it now is consistently an error message rather than a hang). The emulator is now in a state that could be considered usable for the most part, although it is still quite rough. I've forked Philip's repository on BitBucket. https://bitbucket.org/andreww591/freebee

Son and I's Project- Recreating the Dial in ISP Experience

by slandon110＠gmail.com

My son who is 9 loves vintage computers and telephones like me, So we figured why not combine our hobbies into one big project. We want to recreate the fun of the unix dial in days, and dialing in via PPP to the internet. The goal eventually will be to have 12 lines serving up Shell and PPP access via VOIP inbound at speeds around 14.4. So all of you who have old machines that have modems unused, youll be able to call into one of the inbound numbers and get online via shell and PPP. Accounts on the system will be free. Depending on what type of system you use will determine the access number. We plan to have a Sun Sparcstation 5 running SunOS 4.1.4 for dial in access, an HP 712 running HP UX 9.0, and a NeXTstation. Adding more as we find more older unix machines to put on the system as we go. Our project for the Mason Michigan Phone show was demonstrating analog modem connections from computer to computer through a PBX. It was a hit, We had the commodore 64 calling the Mac 512 and then both machines calling out to DiversiDial Station #34 on C*NET. We plan to use the following hardware Asterisk Server to handle call routing and C*NET connections Sun SparcStation 5 Running SunOS 4.1.4 HP 712 running HP UX 9.0.4 NeXTstation running NeXTstep 3.3 A regular old linux box providing shell and PPP access. It gives you a good reason to dust off those old computers, fire up your favorite terminal program and off you go :)
