    A 9402-236. From what I can tell, not much more than a decade old.

    I also have:
    Osborne 1 (should be arriving tomorrow)
    DECserver 200/MC
    and two Tektronix XP421C's.

    The XP421C's are interesting... Shinomura had one, which is how Mitnick exploited the trust relationship. The buggers are vulnerable to SYN flooding, and possess a trivial ISN generator. I gave one to a friend, and we use them at work, but first we hop through our Linux boxen that are set up to SSH port-forward. If you've never seen a machine run an X server with no fans or HD, and 8 MB of RAM, you haven't really lived. ;)

    This reminds me of a comment I spotted once about collecting old computers (one of my hobbies... wanna see my AS/400?):

    Paraphrased, "Yeah, I really need to find a hobby that's less expensive and doesn't take up as much room. Y'know, like collecting large diamonds."

    At any rate, the guy who modded this Commodore is an idiot. I would have paid some good money for that machine, and many of my friends would have, as well. And, coincidentally, my Osborne 1 arrives tomorrow. I'll have to make sure this site isn't on my other computers' screens, or the Osborne might get a little anxious....

    So, rather than actually shutting down the ports in question, they just turn off DNS resolution for webmail.uruklink.net. Of course, their NS entries still exist, and a quick subnet scan on port 8383 (nice of them to choose an odd port number, wasn't it?) reveals that adding
    62.32.60.16 webmail.uruklink.net
    to your /etc/hosts (or C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for us Windows users) quite nicely lets us into the webmail system.

    Alas, the user/pass is not "press"/"press", nor a mispelled "sadam"/"sadam". Ah, well.

    Actually, there are three settings:

    Off. Pops up dialog boxes and warnings: "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DO THIS!?" sort of things. After clicking "yes" a few dozen times, WinXP no longer attempts to auto-update, and doesn't poll for update availability.
    Automatic Download. Periodically (timeframe? anyone?) polls an MS server for updates, downloads them in the background, you have to click a little taskbar widget to install them.
    Automatic Download and Install. Yep, just what it says: "Please, Microsoft, install arbitrary code on my system without alerting me!"

    Of course, I'm currently leading an initiative to have all non-technical people required to set their level to "Automatic Download and Install", so I can only be a certain degree of harsh about what that means.
