It is indeed. With 1.25G of memory as well.

The standard TCPIP from DEC. I forgot to say that it's running OVMS 7.3.

$ tcpip
TCPIP> sho ver

   Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX Version V5.1
   on a VAX 7000-720 running OpenVMS V7.3

I'll check if there are logs to purge. I'm not that interested in the 
log data.

I have plenty on MIM where I can see what the stupid script kiddies are 
doing.
(The ultimate irony is the scripts that probe telnet, which just hang 
when they connect to RSX, as RSX do not prompt for any username. RSX 
gives you an MCR prompt when logged out, and you can give any command. 
And my telnet daemon actually gives you instructions on how to log in to 
the machine, including a username and password, and the scripts all fail 
at giving the script kiddie an account on the machine for the simple 
fact that it don't heave like Unix, and noone ever sees my welcome 
message. :-) )
