Hi all !
Just a question which I'm quite curious about:
Is it possible to use my VAX 4000/200 as a web-server ?
That way, I could provide my future site about my collection by using parts of it ;)
This, of course, would mean the VAX running 24h a day.
SCSI-disks would certainly be a better choice than my SDI-disks in order to avoid a
crash...
Is my VAX with its 5 VUP and 32MB RAM fast enough to run a webserver ?

With BSD installed should work fine I would think, I doubt you'd want to run
anything too heavy duty, I want to do it as well, I have a 4K-200 with 64mb

No problem, I know several
people in Holland who do exactly
the same with their VAX 4000-300's- web, smtp and so on.

It *does* use a bit of power..

Well, or use DSSI disks.. these things
simply dont wanna
die. I have a few of those running 24/7, and dammit, they
dont give up :)

32MB is a bit close, but, yes, it will run VMS 7.1 with the
usual web stuff. Try getting some extra RAM for it, that
will certainly speed it up *a lot* !

I find mine with 3 DSSI disks comes in under 3A@240V - less than my P133
that sits under the cable box downstairs!

Your PC uses 3A? Jesus. Get another
PeeCee! :)

I'm
not going to mention what all is running 24/7 here. My
power company will get a heart attack if I do...

Reminds me of my time in Uni halls - we didn't have to pay any power bills!

I have the same configuration - apart from no local disk that NetBSD can
use so I put another disk in my home internet gateway box and booted
NetBSD/VAX from that over the network - used to serve http://
www.meltie.com just fine with thttpd - very small, easy to set up, high
performance webserver - http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/

I ran a web server for about a year on a 4000/90 using NetBSD and
thttpd. Worked great.

Should work as long you don't expect to handle lots of traffic.
