Multics Lives

[Tomasz Rola]

Howdy,

It seems to go unmentioned here, so here you are. One guy have set up
a public Multics site.

Access via ssh: 

# ~$ ssh dps8 at m.trnsz.com
# The authenticity of host 'm.trnsz.com (139.162.119.37)' can't be
# established.
# ECDSA key fingerprint is

# Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
# Warning: Permanently added 'm.trnsz.com,139.162.119.37' (ECDSA) to the

... and so on, and so on ... (the '# ' comes from me, to make screen
dump stand out from my own words)

I have none prior experience with Multics, so it is going to be
interesting. I guess.
