Is there any sort of terminal software available
for Mac OS X that speaks DECnet or LAT?
I've spent the last couple days reviving my OpenVMS 8.3 and VAX/VMS 5.5-2 systems,
and would like to be able to access the VAX without having the Alpha online.
Next up, is my PDP-11/73, though cabling it is likely to be a bit of a challenge.
If I had room in my office, I'd think about bringing a terminal in here.
I guess you might be able to run some of the ancient Pathworks stuff
for Windows under WINE, Crossover or just a VirtualBox VM with a copy
of Windows in it... But you'll need to run a copy of Windows old
enough that it understands DECnet, and I have no clue if VBox can pass
DECnet traffic out the host's Ethernet port - it only really expects
to handle TCP/IP!
