One interesting note about alpha is that the reason PuTTY exists is that the creator had a windows NT alpha workstation, but there was no native telnet clients that had good terminal emulation for Alpha NT.
He supported the alpha build well into the 2000s.
- aap_ 7y agoFunny. I've run a recent x86 putty on Alpha.
- hylaride 7y agoAre you compiling it yourself? Also, you're still using a windows workstation on alpha? If so, that's interesting. "We used to also provide executables for Windows for the Alpha processor, but stopped after 0.58 due to lack of interest" 0.68 was released in 2005-04-05. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#faq-ports-general https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#...
