The previous incarnation of the SDF Public Access UNIX System has now
found a new home at the Qwest Museum of Communications in Seattle WA.
SDF ran System Vr3 on a 3B2/310 and a 3B2/500 until 1997. It now has 8
dialup lines provided by a vintage #5 crossbar and will be running every
Tuesday between 9:30am and 2:30pm. Visitors can access it via Model 33,
35 and 37 teletypes @ 110 and 150 baud, Model 43 @ 1200 bps or via video
4410 video terminals at 9600bps. Dialup lines support up to 300 bps with
UUCP lines running TB+ PEP at 19.2kbps

Here is a photo of setup/configuration:

The current incarnation of SDF runs NetBSD on DEC Alphas with national
dialup (PPP and direct UNIX login) with two T3 dedicated lines.
