  "You mean I can't attach my U200 RJE station...?"

  Better still, a cheap Unix can replace that silly station.  Take
a look at "Software Practice and Experience" Vol. 9, p 701-9, at
the article by John Lyons.  He describes how U. New South Wales
got its start on Unix by writing a U200 emulator that ran under
Unix V6 on an 11/40.  The emulator running time shared under Unix
replaced a "dedicated" emulation program running under RSX-11D.

  John Lyons, by the way, was the author of the wonderful "Commentary
on the Unix Operating System" which taught the secrets of V6 to
so many...
