I have the SPL for Ultrix, some licences (not sure about the base OS license) and am shortly picking up a VS3100 that will run it. 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! It is also unstable, crashing after 24 hours or so, which is why it got replaced with the 4000/60 then upgraded to the 4000/90. Having said *all* that, if I could get hold of a stable motherboard I'd like to make a suitcase VAX - the motherboard is diminutive - and a replacement, modern power supply would be about the same size as a 1" high 3.5 HD.

The kits I have too. And license (well, for Ultrix atleast). But no kit for DECnet. I am working on getting a PRO-380 (RT-11) w/DECnet to talk to HECnet. The DECNA has died a horrible death but the com port may be a possibility. Wish I had a DECNA. By PRO-380 is connected to HECnet using the comm port, but that machine is running P/OS.

I don't know whether there are other Digital Unix systems out there! The new node is 1.258, TIGER, requiring a node list update to find. Next step is to install the Mailbus 400 SMTP Gateway... Nice! Does anyone have DECnet for Ultrix around? I have Ultrix 4.5 here, but no DECnet... :-) Known OSes on HECnet: RSX VMS P/OS TOPS-20 RSTS/E OSF/1 Linux Windows Missing (as far as I know): Ultrix TOPS-10 (could it even connect to DECnet?)
