[HECnet] Multics online as node 1.770 (BANAI)

[Zane Healy]

I ran across these pages a few months ago.  I’m still in shock.  Hopefully one day they are able to release a distro.

BTW, LCM+L should have a decent collection of GCOS-8 doc’s, including doc’s on the DataNet-8000.  Regrettably I gave them all my GCOS-8 materials (a large box) a few years ago, as I thought I’d never have any use for them again.  At least they went up there.  Everyone else that I’m still in contact with dumped theirs in the recycle 20+ years ago. :-(

I heard that the Living Computer Museum in Seattle is trying to bootstrap TYMCOM/X? That would be awesome! Not sure if they have access to the necessary Tymnet node (engine) hardware needed to multiplex the terminals. All that stuff would have to talk the Tymnet II protocol (like I mentioned earlier, it isn't X.25). [snip]
