Doubtful... this was a military machine, and although it didn't handle
classified data, they didn't grant accounts to outsiders, which even
the NSA did with the DOCKMASTER system until it was decomissioned in
1998.

But maybe if someone with deep enough pockets and good Canadian
connections tries, who knows what might be possible...
