Yes, I did use IPCS when I was working on these systems. I don't WORK on them anymore. I might use IPCS if I start PLAYING with these systems again. I think Amdahl had its own dump analysis program

Re: Which Hercules and which host?
100% agree. I always use Debian for servers and have switched to tmux instead of screen, but yes, this is how I run all of my Hercules and simh instances -- Debian VM on my VM server with tmux
