Simple solution, use a PC for it's best other use
{first one is doorstop}
and load up linux as a NAT box and put that in between cable and VAX.
Then you can run the vax with static IP. Or better yet use a
Microvax2000
and run netbsd so you dont have to have a PC in that spot.
I actually prefer to use a little BookPC-format boxes running Linux
Linux for my Internet gateway. The system is cheap, little, quiet,
and doesn't get very hot. I can stick it behind my other systems.
It has a large capacity IDE drive in it and I also use it for a
mail and http server.
