I don't typically "surf" from VMS. While I do have Netscape 3.03, the
latest Mozilla port, some version of Mosaic, and Lynx on my XP1000, I really
only use Lynx, and then for downloading files. I'm actually quite surprised
how well Lynx handles some sites. I think Netscape 3.03 might also run on
the VAX, but I don't remember. Forget about Mozilla, it won't run on
anything less than an XP1000.
OTOH, while I don't really use VMS to access the web, I do use it to serve
up various MySQL/PHP, PHP, and Perl based web apps, as well as some VMS
specific ones.

PS. To try and keep this on topic, is it possible
to surf the 'net on
say a VAX? I don't expect it to run Flash etc. but basic text and
images? Or would memory be a problem?
I used to use Mosaic on a VAXstation 3100. I think there was also a
version of Netscape for the VAX, but about that time those workstations
were replaced with Suns.
