Thanks guys for flooding QCOCAL :)

If you want to play with OpenVMS on a real MicroVAX 3100-80, shoot me an email from https://goo.gl/FqzyBW


It turns out that you can telnet to sanyalnet-openvms-vax.freeddns.org and play some games and look at the vms system monitor.

I do wish it would give you the option of a shell. Its been 30 years or so since I played with VMS. Some time when I'm bored, I should probably install a VM and play around with VMS just for fun.


It was there. Then script kiddies thought they can use it to bother others since it is connected to the internet ...


PS those of you interested in DECnet - QCOCAL and a bunch of my systems are also on HECnet: http://mim.update.uu.se/hecnod


Seems to be experiencing a Hacker News hug of death...


actually it is working flawlessly as configured :)
