Per:
https://multicians.org/multics.htmlhttps://multicians.org/multics.html
"Harry Reed and Charles Anthony reached a major milestone on the Multics
simulator on Saturday 08 November, 2014. Their SIMH-based simulator booted
Multics MR 12.5, came to operator command level, entered admin mode, created a
small PL/I program, compiled and executed it, and shut down. Release 1.0 of
the simulator is now available."

That sounds like a GOOD thing: full of awe!

Hello,
against my plan to stay under my rock and learn from your messages I now
have to speak up, because I stumbled over this:
https://bsd.network/@sehnsucht/100635118831337239
which speaks of
gopher://ftp.icm.edu.pl/1/vol/rzm2/
(after some puzzled searching for a client I found out that lynx still
supports gopher)

authentic, at a first glance.

Well, I've got a nephew who's been at Oracle for like 20+ years; he can
probably point us at the right person.

Why do we need that? Can't they say 'any and all versions of SunOS', and that
term ('SunOS') is sufficiently well defined in real-world documents (e.g. Sun
licenses) that that should be 'good enough'.
It sounds like the _actual code_ is reasonably available, we wouldn't need
Oracle to go looking around for it, would we?

Hi!
If I wanted to run 4.3BSD on an x86 box (VirtualBox? QEMM? other emu?)...
anybody has suggestions? Where can I find media for 4.3BSD (if any are
legitimately accessible)?
Or on a Raspberry Pi? :)
Thanks!
Gilles

Back in the early 90s before the FSF withdrew the service due to misuse it
was possible to write off to them to get a free shell account on "hal" as I
did. I recall having to telnet through one of three gateway systems so
assume it was on its own little subnet.
But I can't remember what sort of system (hardware or OS) it was now
however and wondered if anyone else did?

Clem Cole:
Clearly from the time, ditroff did not yet exist. The more I think about
it, Brian K actually might know some of the story.
===
I'm quite sure Brian Kernighan knows the full story of the origins
of typesetter-independent troff (as it was originally called, in
CSTR 97, published in 1981; the binary was just /usr/bin/troff).
The reason I'm so sure of that is that it was Brian who rewrote
troff to bring it into the modern era and to make it supportable.
He's also the author of the CSTR.

Any idea if that even still exists, or did it get shredded somewhere along the
way?
Anyway, should I spin up my nephew on trying to find the right person to put
out a historic, personal-use license?

Missed the cc line. Also I have mailman up @ lakewoodmicro.com at Digital Ocean. If we need mailing lists.

Damn. Television was autocorrect but I wrote "Telebit" at the time.
Perhaps setting up a mumble server for voice chat makes sense.

I've personally done UUCP over SSH multiple times.
It looks like TCP port 540 is reserved for UUCP over TCP and TCP port
4031 is reserved for UUCP over SSL.
So, we'll definitely be offering those services inside of RetroNet.
Currently the idea is to make services available inside of RetroNet. I
don't know how many services will be openly available across the
Internet. Primarily for security / safety reasons.
That being said, I think we are planing on a gateway for things. We're
certainly willing to talk about other options too.

I / we would like to know more about the "over ether as serial" part.
I'd think the goal would be to have RS-232 (et al) serial ports that can
connect to retro computers and make things look like what they would
expect to see. That being said, we will either need an RS-232 (et al)
serial port on a gateway, or something else to translate from serial to
likely an IP~>telnet connection.
If you have ideas, please bring them and share them.

Yep. :-)
