I was curious to learn I also think, depending on the version of Multinet you are running it should have the option to disable relaying. I know before I installed PMDF (and used Multinet) I was able to do this. process.com (makers of Multinet and PMDF) have really good documentation on their website that you should be able to find the info you seek. In lieu of that, if you're feeling adventerous ... I think I remember you mentioning you were running VMS 5. Would PMDF run on that? (when my Alpha is turned on, currently off as it needs a fan or two) I run PMDF on my Alpha DS10 running OpenVMS 8.3 and I am able to block relaying. Fred

C64's still managing building systems

by trash80＠internode.on.net

I spotted this article in one of my tech news feeds - it makes a couple of references to C64's still managing building systems. Rationale "it isn't broken". May be of interest to some list members. https://www.commercialrealestate.com.au/news/many-commercial-property-compa… There's also a link in the above article to an older article (and a video) about a Commodore Amiga running the heating system for 19 schools for 30 years which may also be of interest. http://woodtv.com/2015/06/11/1980s-computer-controls-grps-heat-and-ac/ Kevin Parker P: 0418 815 527

If you are bringing things that are very valuable, you can get a Carnet to temporarily import items to the US and then export them without paying duty. It is sometimes a painful process to find the right person at the airport to stamp the Carnet on the way in and out, and often the customs people have no idea what a Carnet is. The Carnet also costs more than $200 and requires a security deposit based on the value of the item. https://www.export.gov/article?id=ATA-Carnet http://www.uscib.org/ata-carnet-faqs-ud-1675/ -- Michael Thompson

Ebay listings from potomacstore

by mattislind＠gmail.com

There is a seller "potomacestore" that lists a number of items in various condition. A HP9866A. very nice if you have the HP9830A but no printer! https://www.ebay.com/itm/401341724680 A weird Tektronix 8 inch drive thing. The drive resembles the Memorex 651 drives, but could something else. But what is it? The photos are not very good. https://www.ebay.com/itm/192119338523 A decent looking Tektronix 4112 terminal: https://www.ebay.com/itm/401325451012 And some other HP, tektronix stuff.

Ebay listings from potomacstore

by pete＠petelancashire.com

I have a partial roll but it been outside inside an old hard copy unit for about 5 years. I need reason you don't see them is they really do have quite a bit if silver in them. Even in 1976 my employer at the time didn't care and was doing pretty well of the scrap.

I think the last thing I bought was a Teletype Model 33 ASR that fell on its face, seller made a pretty good deal as it was local pick-up and essentially it was a parts bucket at that point.
