[HECnet] Hi...

Hi Mark,
HP still runs the hobbyist program. Register on the website, if you haven't got the url ‎then send a mail to John Egolf. I don't have that information on my phone right now...
HP keeps the rights for vax and axp vms and itanium vms until V8.4. V8.4-1H1 and onwards is VSI's turf‎.

Onderwerp: [HECnet] Hi...

Well, after a long absence due to life being what life is sometimes, I'm 
now in my own apartment with my own Broadband line. Alas I'm still on a 
dynamic IP. I wondered if anyone had made any progress with allowing us 
wandering souls to connect to HECnet.

I aim to renew my VMS Hobbyist licenses (hopefully that still works? Did 
it move to VMSsoftware or is HP still doing it?) and get my VAXstation 
up and running as well as a couple of RPi's running an older VAX sim 
with VMS and PDP-11 sim RSX-11M Plus. I may also dabble in using Tru64 
on my Alpha, if I can dig out some bigger disks for it.

Hoping I can get back into DEC as it's about the only esoteric hardware 
I have left these days!

Thanks,
