<p><font face="Arial">Hi Dave,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Obviously, living in Germantown, MD, I am rearing
to drive up - but am trying to get my ex-boss here too - he
lives in Singapore but visits his daughter in Princeton.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">I worked for Digital in my home country of
India and traveled around South Asia fixing various industrial
process control type installations over 1994 - 1996. QCOCAL - my
SIMH node on HECnet, was a real node on Easynet in Calcutta.
Used to be in the "SI" (systems integration) group. My boss had
been there much longer. I bailed just before Bob Palmer sold it
to Compaq and went to work in Tokyo.<br>

<p><font face="Arial">Will pester you for an appointment some day. I
am sure you have fascinating stories to tell, going back to
phone hacking.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Thanks for what you are doing!</font></p>

<pre wrap="">Easy. Set up an RSX system instead. Then you can transport files between
DECnet and TCP/IP easily, as well as send/receive mail, and run
interactive terminal sessions, and more... :-)

<pre wrap=""> There are many RSX systems here. I think we're over a dozen now,
between the museum and the systems in my home/work building around the

Here's Dave booting one up just shy of four hours away:

Hey, I remember that interview! That was a fun day. Matt, the
journalist, has brought many friends to tour the museum since then.
Not exactly a flattering angle on me in that pic, but I'll take what I
can get. B-)
