We're starting to look at decommissioning our last production VAX (in
the site cluster) because our last VAX customer is finally moving off
theirs by the end of the year. My desktop VAXstation will keep on
trucking as my uber-terminal. While reviewing the VAX' functions I
remembered its the only box onsite running TFTP (yes, disabled when
not specifically needed).
When I checked the directory I found:
RouteAbout MP and IP binaries
DECBridge MP and IP binaries
Multiple ProCurve switch firmware versions
Cisco switch firmware
Cisco switch stored config backup
Seagate Dockstar kernel image and ramdisk image
I guess this VAX has been my goto TFTP box since 1995 so I'll have to
set up something on one of the newer servers. What have you got in
your TFTP hidey hole?

Yeah, right. If it makes you feel any better, I seem to
have a firmware update kit for a Cisco 67x DSL modem/router.
