Hmmm...I'll check with my breakout box tomorrow and check the docs on the
terminal server. Something goofy is up. If the terminal server was
seeing the MVII, I would have been able to telnet to the port. Hmmm...

No BASIC. I was a bit irritated with that. I think I need to find a
decent VMS distribution on magtape or a TK50 cart. I have the controller
for and a TS05 6250 bpi streaming tape drive. Not hooked up yet but if
the MVII is any indication, it'll be just fine.

Anyone want to trade one-a-dem for an 11/24 cpu and 512k memory board? =-D
(Somehow I don't think anyone will go for that.) SCSI is where I always
seem to fall down BTW. I need one for my 11/84 so I don't have to run
the RA80 that's in it. Eeek. Big nasty power hog.
