If you can get a PDP-11 for cheap, you should probably do it. There'll be
better support for it than your 3b1 :->. Just how cheap is real cheap?

Seriously, there's a guy in town using a PDP-11 running RSX as a BBS. If
you're interested in having a look, send me mail.

A PDP-8 is pretty useless, but an '11 is not a bad little machine. Better
than AT+DOS. Probably not as cool as AT+UNIX.
