Oh, I have fond memories of the Masscomp. That's where I learned how to
do sys admin (recovered from an rm -rf /) as well as networking (based
on 4.1c BSD as I recall, plus hacks). Masscomp had a really nicely redone
version of the socket programming docs that was most helpful at the time.
I was ..!uwvax!geowhiz!geophys!lm as I recall and all the geo* were
Masscomps.
You could have DomainOS take a BSD or a SysV personality. Very
interesting.
Very tangentially, Masscomp's RTU (real time Unix) could do this
too. Other than that I think it is definitely something best
forgotten, as it was pretty horrid (although my memory may be biassed
by the awfulness of the HW)
