You can say that again. We never could get HASP

on BSD. This was about 1984. The Berkeley Systems Group even tried
and no soap. This was a leased line setup with Bell 209 modems.
"?HASP?" MVS / OS/390 / z/OS term.
"?on our 11-750?" that sounds like a VAX term (11/750).
Brain: Wait a minute. These are different ecosystems. Yes, they are
supposed to be able to communicate, but is that what we're really
talking about here?
"?Berkeley Systems Group?" that's decidedly BSD, like on a VAX (11/750).
"?leased line?" ecosystem agnostic, but common in IBM.
"?Bell 209 modems?" fits with my understanding of leased lines.
Brain: Yep, it looks like we're crossing ecosystems.
Chuck, I think you are the first person that I've heard / read about
with direct exposure to HASP on non-IBM platforms. I've heard / read
that it's supposed to be possible. But I've not had first hand accounts
before. Now I have. Thank you.
