I am currently working on a GroupWise 6 email server running on Netware 6.5 running on Dr DOS

And I found out during the 2 hour call that it is still running on the same hardware that it was running on in 2007.
There is so much technological debt in this company that I am not sure how their 4 story office is still standing.

Well honestly, it would be pretty shocking if they were running Netware 6.5 on new hardware

Never thought about this, but Netware is x86. So you could be able to virtualize it. NIC drivers might be a problem, but I guess it is possible for example with a AMD PCnet legacy vNIC, depending on your hypervisor.
The last version I had my hands on was Netware 3.1 I think. Is 6.5 still using IPX?
Edit: 16 bit OS might be another problem, Qemu could help. Not sure, but isn't at least ESXi able to run DOS VMs?

Netware 6.5 SP7 actually supports not just running on Xen, but full PV on Xen! That makes it on par with Linux running PV there. That's a serious level of support! Even Windows and FreeBSD can't do that.

@scottalanmiller hehe, nice
-
Yeah, not so bad, really.
-
You know what to do @JaredBusch. Software is a "bit" outdated but you will be able to let it run for a few more decades

Some video games on the Steam station that we have. One daughter is baking a cake with her mom, the other is snuggled in bed playing a video game on her own.

Game done for the day,... storm cleaned the field out fifteen minutes after we left.
Cleaned up seven pounds of loin and started it in a cure. in 4 or so days if the weather is decent in the smoker it'll go.
Round two of storms is moments away.... think I'll go sit and watch....

Awesome. Just over 3 hours long. Hard to believe he's 66.

Re-testing my Radius server with the AC-PRO access points and new V5 Controller.
All seems good. Now to just find where one cable runs so I can set-up the VLAN's to a meeting room AP and I can install them. Then start kicking people off the Main SSID onto the new ones that are secure.

Trying to repair a PostgreSQL database that is corrupted on CentOS 4.3.
