I have an Indy and IndyCam as well as some SGI branded Polk Audio speakers sitting in my living room right now. Unfortunately it’s not in a working state. The person I got the memory from sold me had modules and it lacks a disk, and I’ve blown wayyy to much money in retrocomputers so I figure sadly it will likely end up in storage or sold.

I was going to try add support to my custom ISDN stack (yet another semi-abandoned project that likely won’t get completed) to be able to use the Indy’s ISDN interface. Who knows maybe sometime I’ll pick it up again.

That cam is what launched the whole webcam rage in 1995 right from my office in Hoofddorp, NL. A few years later we were doing fashion shows, car races, shuttle launches and whatever else people wanted to see.

I was going to buy one back in the 1990s but I went for a tricked out PC instead because of games, LOL. I picked this one up a while later. Great little machine.

Funny coincidence, mine was, too. The founder acquired the Indy from his previous employer, and it sat in a corner running DNS. There was a Windows box running a RADIUS server, and a Cisco 2501 router. The main office was also a PoP site, so there were a couple Hayes modem banks and a concentrator box. There were 5 other PoP sites around the state, because this was when calling a few towns away was "long distance".

I worked at an ISP that ran a couple of its web servers on Indy's. The hardware was nice, but IRIX 5.x was kind of a mess. It came out of the box with very loose security. X11 was open to the world (equivalent of "xhost +".) This meant anyone could key log you from remote if you were logged into the console.
