The recent downtime thread has sparked much discussion about a variety of DEC (and perhaps some Compaq) hardware, but who among us is living in HECnet lives in software?
      

Right now I'm not on HECnet -- someday not too long from now, I hope.
That will be a DECnet/E system emulated in E-11.   I do have a Pro or
two, but I'm a bit hesitant to hook that up -- it would have to be by
DDCMP.   I suppose it should work, if I hook it to the E-11 based
system and have that be a router.

I'm also currently not on HECnet, but it's a future goal.   I have a small herd of Alphas and Integrity systems but no actual VAXen nor PDP's.   I hope to create some using VMware's ESXi virtual platform on some HP DL380 G3's that I have.   I"m looking into Simh fo rthe VAX and PDP-11's and KLH-10 for a PDP-10
