Hello! Wonderful news. Oh and Bill? That's a VM/IS (VM/SP 5) setup. For an IBM setup. The other OS is for a different family. ---- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature was once found posting rude messages in English in the Moscow subway."

that's awesome to do for the community. I don't have a VMS system up and running but I know Dave McGuire will on the other end of PA. Bill

I'm pleased to announce that SDFVM, the Interim Computer Museum's VM/IS (VM/SP 5) system, is now available to connect to over HNET, the mainframe hobbyist NJE network! This means that any systems connected to HNET can send files and mail to SDFVM.
In practice, that means you can:
* Use VM SENDFILE to send files over RSCS to SDFVM users, or if you are on SDFVM, to use RSCS to send files to users on other HNET systems * Use PROFS or OfficeVision to send mail to users enrolled on PROFS on SDFVM * Install the TOOLS/TOOLSRUN packages on your VM system and mirror the tools and conferencing disks hosted on SDFVM. And SDFVM can mirror any tools/conferencing disks hosted on yours!
If you have a system on HNET, you can set your default route to DEARN and should then be able to connect to SDFVM. Write to Evie Cooper at wec@bam.moe (on copy) and she'll do her best to get you hooked into us.
Here's how we're connected into the network:
DEARN -> HSNET -> EVIEVM -> SDFVM
