** 'Tekmdp' proudly announces that it has joined the Usenet NewsNet.**

We are 'tekmdp', reachable via 'duke!chico!teklabs!tekmdp'. The system
is operated by the Tektronix Microprocessor Development Products Group,
a portion of the Design Automation Divisoin. We are located outside of
Beaverton, Oregon, near Portland.

Our machine consists of an 11/70 with 1.3 Mb of main memory, two RP06
disk drives, two mag tape drives, and other peripherals. We are
running V7 UNIX, as modified by UC Berkely and ourselves. Our system
typically supports 20 to 45 users doing largely program and
documentation development. Within a few weeks our VAX 11/780 will
begin operation and join the net, as 'tekmdp!azure'.

We do not have auto-dialers, and thus are unable to poll additional
sites. 'Teklabs' is our contact with the outside world, although we
would consider having other sites poll us.

We support a user community of about 200 engineers, technicians, and
managers, developing Microprocessor Development Lab products, including
a UNIX-based product, the 8560. Portions of our group are involved in
Language Software Development, Software Tools, Mainframe Design,
Emulator Design, and Operating System Design.

Other UNIX sites within Tek (some of which will be joining the net
soon) include an 11/70, several 11/44's, two VAX's (with another
planned), and a raft of 11/23's.

The contact here is myself, Steven McGeady. I can be contacted via:
