I agree. I recommend putting up a link on a webpage like mine and then
updating it with an IP poster. My IP numbers change *very* rarely but it is
a good idea to still use a link on a webpage that is updated by an IP
poster. I still recommend using a Windows box for the job, a cheap 75Mhz
Pentium with Windows 95 will easily handle 7 TELNET connections at 9600
baud. I am moving mine over to a new Celeron box tomorrow morning for
dedicated 24/7 connections to my PDP-8/11s
http://www.pdp8.com/1135.htm
Anyone here have any vintage software to run on a PDP-11 as a front end
connection server? Waterloo University used a PDP-11/45 back in the '70s in
front of their *huge* cluster of some 3-500 DEC minicomputers. I've got
heaps of DZ,DL,etc.. from the warehouse so serial ports are not a problem.
Expect the first version of DOS/BATCH-11 next week.
No electricity costs here ;-)
