Are you saying those fiber network boxes are running
TOPS-20?
Yes.
Yes, I know XKL used to make TOPS-20 compatible
boxes, but I see no
sign of it on their current products.
No, you don't. You, as a network device purchaser, don't need to.
Any idea where I used to work before I started the present gig?
It should
be obvious from postings I've made on this mailing list.
Forgive us all for not knowing the deep dark super secret secrets of
the super secret TOPS-20 society. If only I had known the unpublished
unspoken truth I could have avoided asking for clarification, such an
ass I am.
