[comp.os.rsts] It seems like we're introducing ourselves

kph@dustbin.stars.flab.Fujitsu.JUNET (Kevin Paul Herbert) (03/21/90)

I may have missed some of the notes in this group; my newsfeed has been
flakey lately. I noticed an introduction from Ted Sarbin which quoted
notes from Alfred Thompson and Martin Minnow. Hi there...

I'm Kevin Herbert. I've used RSTS since V06A and been hacking at the
monitor since V06C. I used to work for the RSTS group, doing such fun
things as the new BACKUP, new terminal driver, LAT port driver, and
monitor support for Phase IV DECnet. I don't have access to a RSTS system
right now, but I like thinking about it. :-)

I'm still hacking at timesharing operating systems. I'm doing terminal
server software for cisco Systems, which has a timesharing kernel that
they wrote to run on their routers and terminal servers. I've been
adding all sorts of RSTS flavor to the kernel, such as ^P to get into
the kernel debugger that I added. I've been thinking about putting in
Control/T support as well. I'm a real Control/T junkie; that's why V9.0
has the additional data reported by Control/T. :-)

I guess we're ready for the '90s.

One of my newsreaders is broken; I'm actually kph@cisco.com, working for
cisco Systems, Inc. I thought that I fixed this. :-)
