Site Name:     cincy
Real Name:     University of Cincinnati Electrical and Computer
          Engineering Department
Configuration: PDP 11/60 (soon to be moved to a 34)
          TU10 lookalike
          RK05F and J
          RP03 lookalike (300MB)
          DZ11s (yuck)
          Machine is shared between RSX (mainly) UNIX and SOLO.
What we do:    Supports graduate research in the areas of picture
          processing, signal processing, graphics.
          We are making our way into the VLSI field. (slowly)
          Much solid state research is going on, but there
          are not very good design tools (being upgraded).

New Sites:     As we don't have dial in facilities now, it will
          be necessary for us to dial anyone wishing to talk
          to us. We are willing to call anyone who sounds
          interesting or interested, as long as it doesn't
          get out of hand. Contact me here and we'll work
          something out.

          When DEC finally delivers our 34, it should run UNIX
          almost full time, and we will have dial in and out
          facilities. At that time we would be willing to let
          almost anyone call us, I think.

About 10 people read net news on the system. This will probably grow
as we get more users (that number is about 70% of the regular users.)

We currently have direct connections to duke and purdue.

     This is to announce the presence of cincy on  the  net.
We  are the University of Cincinnati Electrical and Computer
Engineering Department.  Current research interests are sig-
nal  processing  (specifically  residue arithmetic filters),
pattern recognition and picture  processing,  communications
networks,  solid  state fabrication technologies, CAD, VLSI,
computer  architecture,  logic  design,....   (we're   quite
diversified).  Current  facilities  are a PDP-11/60 which is
shared between running RSX, UNIX, and SOLO. We  run  a  very
hacked  V6,  soon  to be converted to V7.  We are getting an
11/34 as soon as DEC delivers it, which  should  run  mainly
UNIX.  Cincy  will be moved to that machine then.  It should
have better phone equipment.  We also foray into the biomed-
ical  engineering  world, having recently done work in aneu-
rysm detection.  Our configuration is not  too  stable,  and
should expand a whole bunch if we get some money.

     We are interested in communicating with people of simi-
lar interests, or folks who just want to chat about UNIX. We
have lots of old (IBM 1130?) and  small  (AIM-65)  equipment
that  is  begging  to  have support software written for it.
Our SS fab lab is excellent, but their support tools consist
of a card-based system on the 1130 that drives an aging Cal-
Comp plotter. I am personally working  to  change  that.   I
envision  a  CIF based system with graphical front end (home
written).  It should be operational by the  end  of  summer,
based on U of Toronto's GPAC. I would be interested in hear-
ing from people doing this kind of work.

     We are also interested in RJE to Amdahl  systems.  Any-
body  out  there  doing  this (preferably cheaply?) There is
talk going around about a  homebrew  Ethernet-like  network,
too, but no action yet.


     We currently connect to purdue and duke.  We have  only
dial  out  equipment,  so  we would have to call you, if you
sound interesting (the decision of the judges is final).
