I can’t speak for that, but the VAX 7000 is still online.  Someone is obviously paying the electric bills at a minimum, as that’s got to chew through some real power.  The XKL TOAD-2 is online as well (PDP-10 clone), and some of the emulated systems.

I finally found a link to the page to request accounts, on their Wiki, the page can’t be found.  I also discovered that a lot of the systems include GUEST accounts, the VAX isn’t one of them. :-(

At least I don’t *need* access, I have my own VAXen.  I just wanted to check something.
