Does anyone know what mainframes the online service Delphi ran on?

Does a VAX count as a mainframe? They were running VMS fully visibile to
the end-user back when I had a test account circa '94 or so.

Most VAX are mini's (at least in my Opinion). I'm not sure exactly what
decides that a machine is a Main frame, a mini and a micro (yes I know
most desktops are micro's).

Runs. Delphi is still out there. I heard somewhere it ran on Vaxen until
recently but I wouldn't elevate that fact beyond the rumor level. Delphi is
at www.delphi.com and subscription for a web only account is free, perhaps
one of the folk there can answer your question.

In fact, it's still running a shell service as well. I've been
grandfathered into my account there. It's still running VMS, but the
shell is a very heavily modified DCL-driven menu system of some kind,
so I can't do anything silly like "$ SHOW SYSTEM".
But it's definitely VMS. You get dumped into VMS MAIL when you check
your email.
