Give it a few days (I'm out of town at the moment anywway) and if you
don't have any luck get back to me.  I have VAX distributions and could
loan you one for the cost of round-trip postage.  (Speed depending on
what you want to pay.  You could pay more to get it over there fast and
then send it back via the cheapest way as all my gear is packed away
and I don't anticipate needing it again for as much as a year.)
