For the amount of electricity they use they sodding well ought to be too!!
I couldn't be happier with the DS10L's performance (mine is the one Rob's been using). It does make a little too much noise, but even the missus has become used to it being on the whole time in our study. It also running with a shadowset on the system disk, which does noticeably slow it down.
I'd like an itanium, but I haven't heard of one which is reasonable enough on the power front to warrant being on for extended periods of time. The DS10L is around 180W, which is not *too* bad.

I'll make you an MMJ cable when we get together.
Okay! Thanks!
Btw, I solved the problem with being unable to use it by going in to conversational boot, configuring decnet, starring decnet, and then editing SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to autostart DECnet.

Absolutely. Servers don't need a GUI.

Problem! The system has booted and is sitting at the operator's console. It doesn't respond to my keyboard. I haven't yet gotten DECnet enabled or any remote access so I can't access the system.
Any ideas?

You only have one alternative that works across all the cisco boxes in
HECnet, SNMP.
As I made a a image that works on 2500 with 8M flash and 16M ram,
there is not room for SSH....
Can you try MOP RC?

so about 15 minutes, which seems to be about average.
