That reminds me of a customer with 2 Alphas in buildings a mile apart. 
What we really wanted was a third voting member which could see both, 
preferably in a third location, so that if either building lost power, 
the other Alpha would carry on.

DEC suggested that a lowly VAX 2000 would be up to the task.  Nowadays a 
SimH instance would do that fine.
