It is said that the NSF can recover the data from a disk after a single wipe,
but I am sure no individual can, well not at a cost that would make it worth
while.

adding the "fr=altavista" doesn't change the results, what you get is the

Hi Alex. I am retired, and haven't worked with mainframes for a long time.
However I own several 3174s and 3270 compatible terminals
(If any in Europe has a spare IBM 3270 it would be nice to have a copy)
e.
That is the code that VTAM uses (well I think it still uses) to present
terminals to VM.
So, if we were using SNA or X25 or BiSync as universal transports, then I
believe we could be finding security holes in them.

I tried two. A 23R so the rack mount model with a token ring interface, and a
64R so table top with Ethernet interface.
But both running the same microcode...

I know its unlikely that any one here is using such a configuration but
hoped that someone may have had the issue in the past and know of a fix.

Not sure where that came from. The Baby replica actually does about 700
