I have the SPL for Ultrix, some licences (not sure about the base OS

fancied the idea of Unix on a VAX, so will definitely give it a whirl -
even better to get it connected to HECnet - another one off the list!

So I may be calling on the group of a couple of missing jigsaw pieces.

RE: VAXstation 4000/VLC - when I tried to do development on the box or
display remote decterms it was pretty slow, even with 24MB. Also, you
must have different/newer fans in yours - mine make a hell of a racket!

I will agree with being slow :-)   I find that it's not too bad though.
Unfortunately I don't have the space to get the 4000/90 up and running.
I too had noisy fans, but after a healthy dose of contact cleaner and
oil they are almost silent.   Maybe they just need a good clean?
