[HECnet] TOPS-10 D-Day, DECnet failure on November 9th is less than six days away

[Thomas DeBellis]

I would hate to say "none", but I fear this is really close enough to 
the truth as makes no difference...  It seems that only the VMS people 
are online and Johnny, who keeps RSX up.

Anytime I've checked a Tops-10 system, I've been unable to connect, but 
I don't do that a lot.

It's little different with Tops-20 systems, although a few are online 
(SOL:: is a notable example) I used to use Supratim's TWENEX:: (31.29) 
machine to try to do regression tests, but this was fruitless.  His host 
table is years out of date, so I only show up as a number which can not 
be entered as a node name.  And he has bugs and things I fixed aeons ago.

He never responds to any query and now TWENEX:: is seldom up.  Well, let 
me rephrase that, it hasn't been up when I've checked, but I stopped 
doing that and gave up on him.

That's what I'm building TERZO:: for, regression tests.

I'll bet 28NH:: has some of that information; it looks like it does.
