We have a PDP-11/44 we are thinking of retiring. Might it be possible to use it instead as a file-server or as a controller for a LAN with all our PC's in the office ?? Its been a very reliable system and I hate to see it go. Can someone help out with some leads to vendors who might have software that would do the above. Bill

I'm afraid the 16 bit hardware limits it use. The hardware maintenance and operating costs would pay for a 386 or 3100 server. Steve
