You've got that right--we leased our VAX on the condition from the
vendor that it could run HASP. The BSD folks had a package from a third
party that claimed to do that.
We never figured out that it could.
The leased line was a 9600 bps sync from St. Paul to Santa Clara. IIRC,
it was about $5K/month.
IBM hardware on the far end, feeding an ETA 10 system. How's that for
a bizarre configuration?
Would have been nice had it worked.
By 1990, 9600 bps over voice-grade lines would be abysmally slow.

You can say that again.? We never could get HASP
running on out 11-750
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?
