I'm pleased to be able to report the successful installation of OpenVMS
8.3 - Alpha on my 3000 M600
It now runs Dec Windows on the graphics screen and a terminal on the
serial port.
TCPIP works and I can get to my local network OK.
Now to find a browser. There must have been one

Rod,
There is the Compaq Secure Web Browser, which is a horribly ancient
compile of netscape? Mozilla? can't remember at the moment.
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/ips/cswbs/cswbs.html
It barely runs on my Dec 3000 w/ 192 MB of memory.
There are VMS builds of lynx/links out there for VMS which run much
better, but as with all terminal based text web browsers are of dubious
utility.

I am pretty sure I remember a Netscape build for VMS long ago ... but I
can't say for sure. I may have just been running on a UNIX machine with
remote X to the VAX ... I don't recall. All my VMS systems run just in text
mode nowadays so I can't really do a lot of first-hand experimentation. I
definitely remember running Netscape on an old DECpc AXP 150 with 128 Meg
RAM (under Tru64) and it worked well enough.
Best,
Sean
