  • SDF PDP online

    From Sean Dennis@618:618/1 to All on Thu Feb 9 21:46:07 2023
    Hello All,

    SDF has put a PDP-10 running TOPS-20 online. I've already tried it and as a *NIX/BSD fan, I enjoyed tinkering around on it.

    If you want to try it, ssh swc40@hie.sdf.org and 'login new new'.

    Well .. that is a bummer when passwords are lost.

    Thanks for getting back to me.

    I'm still waiting for my donation to go through.... you know when you want to use a system that wait is a long one.

    Take care Sean.

    I'll be back to talk about gopher. :)

    I'm looking at joining at the $35/year level. SDF does offer unique features.

    There's some gopher affectionados here in Micronet!

    What features do you find interesting on SDF for that level?

    I got some great tips on gopher from cool folks on the nets.
    I finally got my gopher hole working. gopher://sdf.org/1/users/bbsing
    Not much, but its still fun.

    After get a taste of what SDF has to offer for a validated user, I might become an arpa member.

    It would be neat if I could dial out using SDF. I haven't seen that ability yet.

    I decided to try out SDF because a user on bottomless abyss BBS named userfxnet had a good experience there.

    Is Micronet also a Unix system?

    Micronet has ran under both Linux and FreeBSD before but my BBS is
    running under ArcaOS currently. I have to finish rebuilding a computer
    I bought for it but I may wind up running the BBS under WSeB (Warp
    Server for eBusiness).

    OS/2 was my first love for my BBS and it probably will be now until I
    leave.
