have are, Vaxen,
PDP-11s. Of those the PDP-11s really dont have a OS that supports IP networking
and the vaxen are all serial consoles (no graphics). Doable on vaxen but not
practical.
I might do it on a CP/M crate but then I need a PC to
run PPOE to serial
gateway.
Its a matter of expediency and general need for modern compatability even
if I hate PCs in general.
You need an Amiga as a one stop solution. It's definitely classic, but
fully capable to 21st century standards. And the OS normally
impresses mini and mainframe freaks with it's economy, elegance and power.
