A friend desires to leave the hot desert this summer
and move to the
cool mountain and yet maintain contact with his PDP11 with which he
still runs his business. He has a rotten phone connection, but good
internet. He runs a highly modified version of RTST 5x and cannot
reasonably move his stable 30 y/o applications to later/other OS's. I
would appreciate knowing what the listers use to accomplish same.
A relatively lightweight PC at his business, with internet access and a
serial port, running linux and kermit, should get him access. For
certain values of soldering in the missing serial port, even one of the
linux-based linksys routers could probably be made to work.
SSH from the mountain to the PC/linksys, kermit to PDP.
