I was just trawling through some of my file archives

mwickens at vax2.luton.ac.uk - from 1993 to 1996
At the time I wasn't really into VAXen, but subsequently have wondered about
the VAX that handled my emails during that time. In the last year a new Alpha
system came online, and new email accounts were set up on that box.
Speaking of VAXen and email, my collection includes the VAX 4000/300
purchased by Rowan University in NJ (then Glassboro State College) in
1991. It was online as saturn.rowan.edu until 2001, as one of the systems
which allowed student internet accounts. The guide to using the system is
still available:
