<p>Well, I did post the patch a 'awhile' ago... Meaning, I don't
remember! You should also check your Tops-10 system date, just in
case it thinks differently. What's the node name?<br>
</p>
<p><font size="4"><tt>VENTI::</tt></font> is offline, so I hope our
patch didn't take it out of commission...<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Tops-20 does not have the <font
size="4"><tt>COM911</tt></font> issue, so no complaints are what
you'd expect. I don't have any, but I'll take a peek at my error
log later just to see what might be sneaking in there.</div>

Decnet still running here without bugs on 5 tops10 and one 4 Tops20 of which
1 is a Panda and 3 are even Tops20 V4.1.
So have to check the code if repairs were already in place a long time ago

One of the nice features of CDC mainframes (the 60 bit machines) is that
they were rather quiet. That's because the mainframe was liquid cooled,
with water cooling of the refrigeration machinery. Only external boxes like
the console and outboard peripheral controllers had cooling fans. The
machines I worked on had the disk drives in another room (one floor down)
which put all that noise away from the operators. Being able to talk to
your colleagues without shouting was quite nice.
