I guess you are too young to remember VAX Ultrix. :-) First there was Ultrix-11
for PDP-11 (DEC's stolen V7 UNIX). Then Ultrix-32 for the VAX (DEC's stolen
4.2BSD). Whenever I say Ultrix, I mean Ultrix-32 for the VAX. Ultrix-32 was
then ported to MIPS.

Ah! Sorry, I didn't get into Dec Vax stuff until 94' and didn't start
working with Ultrix till 95' I remember we got into the lab I think it
was a Dec Infoserver, their first webserver and it was running Ultrix as I
recall, I really liked the way Ultrix worked, much better then Solaris and
SunOS which I has also just gotten started using around 94' as well.
Actually, I think the infoserver was running OSF Unix??? Hmmmmm, brain
ain't what it used to be :-)

InfoServers were boot-load servers that ran a very
rudimentary
system called ESS, which in turn was based on DEC's VAXeln runtime
kernel for embedded systems. It was designed to efficiently offer
disk (cd-rom and harddisk) and tape devices to the network, and
used DEC protocols called LAD (LASTport/disk) and LASTport/tape
for access to those "shared devices".
