Thanks Bill, thats a great consideration. Maybe I'll do it on the PiDP... it but have the linux handling the transfers (I'm not sure I could get the PDP emulation to actually run a PDP kemit host, if there is one...
There is a PDP-8 kermit which I have used occasionally. It probably can be made to work on he PidP8. If you need help let me know. Kermit-12? Appears to me to be client functions only. Do I have this wrong or do you know a version that will do host functions?
Its been a while but I think you don't need a host. You can do client to client and do a send on one side and a receive on the other. I think that is how I always did it. If your superbrain has the CONNECT (TO REMOTE SYSTEM AS TERMINAL) you can use that to tell the PDP-8 to send/receive then drop back to the superbrain and do the receive/send. I have a modified version of Kermit-12 that works with the console port. Otherwise you will need a separate console and kermit connection to the PDP-8.
This may not be what you are interested in demoing. Or it may! The 386 will be more capable. but not as cool, and PiDP-8 will "represent" more period. We posted at the same time... came to a similar conclusion on the session control. Great minds think alike! Yes I need that modified Kermit-12 I think! And some help with the PiDP configuration. OS/8? Awesome. Thanks! :)
