Speaking of dead things, I got a few Dec Alpha Personal Workstation
from around 1997-1998, moribound but still alive.

Until now, I succeeded in loading a kernel,running factotum which asks
for a user name (but not for a password). Apparently connectil fails
to establish a connnection between the booting terminal and the
auth/file server.

I imagined that the auth/file server was ok, since drawterm succeed
(from a SunOs machine).

(The ethernet card is recognized as announced by a line printed by the kernel)

Any suggestion ? Anyone (still) using alphapc ?
