Always 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? Tim.
