Wish I had an 11/70 or the room to keep it.

  Unfortunately, there's no way to run both the
blinkin' lights
 with the remote panel.  
 Yes, well... I'd be happy with one each.

  Love to see a browser interfaced java 11/70
emulator running to a remote
 location with full software emulated graphics front panel.  
 Is there enough information out there to make a virtual console for an 11/70
 via the remote panel?  I have no idea what the protocol (or serial line speed
 would be).  Does the remote panel have an ODT-like mode?

I think DEC never made the remote protocol available or public.
Probably it could be done with someone with an 11/70, an RDC and a
line analyzer to trap the connections.  I think there were some bits
flipped in the ascii which was used to start the session and some 
kind of kermit/xmodem like protocol...

The remote panel has a really slick ODT mode.  If I can find my 11/70
pocket RDC guide I'll photocopy it.

U= or U/  (if I remember) showed Unibus line status.

      Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
      The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
