Mike removed his board from FidoNet at least two years ago.  He used to run
a BBS for his VAX and Rainbow customers, but I would suspect that is down
too unless he changed the data number.

Why do you call all the way to Virginia to access the Rainbow Echo Conference?

The V20 operates too fast for the standard boot program, and you have to
install an EPROM containing Carl Houseman's mods to make the autoboot work.
However, after doing a cold start, you should still be able to get it started
by doing a warm boot (<setup><ctrl-setup>).
