Subject: Re: Telnet access to classic mainframe/timesharing systems
A little surprised that people don't seem to know
this, since it's been
online for about fifteen years now (and I have made public announcements
now and then all the time)...
Update, in Sweden, have a PDP-11/70, which runs RSX, and have guest
access. The machine is Magica.Update.UU.SE.
Because a budget limit, along with a problematic cooling system a few
years ago, we've had to restrict how much we can have that machine
running, so we migrated all accounts to an emulated PDP-11/74 instead,
called Mim.Update.UU.SE.
So, just telnet to Mim.Update.UU.SE, and login with guest/guest, and you
can play with RSX.
Oh, and yes, Magica is still around as well. It just takes a turn of the
key to get it online.

Thanks for that. I know nothing about RSX, but I stayed long enough to
achieve a new high score in Mad Bomber and execute a 1-line Basic program.
