My point would be that you're more likely to have that DECstation on
a network than someone is likely to have their PDP-11 running V6 Unix.
Besides, I have no desire to run old versions of Unix, I'd just as
soon run a supported version (almost said new version, but I still
use Solaris 8). Also, I don't run Unix on my PDP-11's, as there are
plenty of interesting OS's that won't run on anything else.

Personally I bought the DECstation I have
somewhere specifically to
run NetBSD, not that I could tell you where that system is at the
moment. Something to consider about Ultrix is that it is quite old
at this point, and doesn't get any updates. NetBSD does.
There are people running Unix V6 on their 11/40...err..so what's
your point? :-)
Or have you forgotten what which list you're in? :-)
