I was offered one recently but politely declined :) Ack, not what I was expecting :-) OpenVMS isn't of interest to me, I have vaxen for that ;-) I've also looked at the $99 Tru64 "non-commerical" license. But it's only of mild interest -- tying this box into my FreeBSD 6/7 network would have made the hardware differences trasparent. Does 4.x boot on the 2100A? Reading the archives I came a cross a few references to that. -T -- Page 38: Be sure that, in the excitement of creating a totally rad password, you resist the temptation to tell someone just to show off how smart you are. - Harley Hahn, _The Unix Companion_
