VAXman, is the DECNET on EISNER actually connected to anything?

Not likely.   There was a time but EISNER moved from the home of its old
caretaker (Terry Kennedy) to its new location and it is now just stand-
alone.

  SO close...I have most everything else DEC-related of Terry's.

Really!

    Yep.   Do you know Bill Gunshannon?

I once spent an afternoon with Terry in his place in Jersey City.   One would
never have guessed, from the looks of the place outside, what he had and was
running on the inside.

    I'll bet!   I myself never had the pleasure.

I've had plenty to do with Terry over the years, but I've never met him 
in person. How is he nowadays?

As an interesting note on stuff from Terry, in the early 90s, I shipped 
a crate of VAX 86x0 cards from Terry to Sweden. Unfortunately, they got 
lost somewhere along the way. Never saw or heard of that stuff again. :-(
But Terry was very nice to donate the stuff in the first place.

I haven't spoken/emailed with him in years.   There were some fallings out
with Terry and the DECUS crowd and he reclused himself.   I had nothing to
do with those dealings.
