DEC's as anal about Ultrix licenses as they are

since I ran ultrix machines. What you're asking for is probably in violation

DEC/Compaq by calling 1-800-digital. But if it's priced like VMS licenses it's
beaucoup expensive. Personally I'd get the hobbiest licence and run VMS on it.
Not a bad idea...
You can get a better unix box by taking a pawn shop PC
and putting linux or
netbsd on it.
