Hmmm i just worked out why I can't get through.. it seems to block
non-usa accesses... I can get through from a US account tho.. hmmmm
Just OpenVMS damn :(
It is true however what it says in the proposal about Sun's etc getting
to hobbyists because of the OS's being free and readily available.. I
guess we are all trying to change that with NetBSD and Linux.. I actually
have seen something about a Linux/PDP port, shame I don't have the space
for one :)
Cheers & Thanks
