Oh, and another thing. I've recently picked up a
few 2-4VUPS
VAXstations that I'm working on trying to turn into a VMS cluster.
I'm hoping to create a public-access system - I remember seeing an
article about another one on SlashDot a few months ago. Because of
the terms of the hobbyist license, I'll need to make it a
non-commercial-use-only cluster, but I'd like to make it available to
list members or other people to mess around with.
I'm fairly certain that nearly all of the publicly accessible OpenVMS
clusters are being run on hobbyist licenses. The one covered on
Slashdot was the Death Row cluster:

There's also a cluster of VAX 6000 systems available in Germany. I'm
not sure if their systems will permanent, given the cost of running
power hungry VAX 6000s, but I donated to their cause.

By all means, I think it'd be interesting to have more classic systems
available on the internet.
