... I helped set up axposf.pa.dec.com before I left DECWRL, and I know that the U. S. State Department demanded that it be shut down since there were no access controls to prevent foreign nationals (even those we are not friendly with right now, e.g., Iraq) from telnetting in and getting access. Since the DEC Alpha machines fit the legal description of "supercomputer", this access amounts to "exporting munitions" even though the hardware doesn't move and the crypt(3) sources aren't online. Anyway the service is down right now and the relevant folks at DECWRL and DECNSL are working hard to get it back up again but meanwhile there are no guest DEC Alpha ("AXP") machines on the Internet just now.
