Re: RSX-11M V4.2 -> Linux 2.3.40 testing

[ecc <ecc@cypress.com>]

I have also noticed the delay when 'sethsot' to a vax, but when I do it to a
PDP running M+, it is almost instantaneously.

I have been able to connect to linux from both PDP and VAX  in the past
without hanging up. I have not been able to get 2.3.40 to even boot, so I just
tried my 2.2.10, it still seems to work but I have not been able to connect  to
it, only out of it.
It still crashes my pdp that runs M 4.2, so far only M+ has worked for me.
