I have not played with mainframes since the mid 80s when my first job was a
backup operator.

It is amazing what emulators can do.  I run MBSE under Slackware Linux and
thanks to DOSemu, I have several DOS doors and even participate using
InterLORD in an IBBS league, all under Linux and DOSemu.

I think I have several emulators tucked away in my filebase somewhere...
