How do you figure?  Will BaseStar just stop working?

I know sites still on VAX and there hasn't been HP support for OpenVMS VAX
and VAX systems for quite some time.  Those businesses are still operating
just fine.  And then, there are site which still have some PDPs in use as
well.  I don't believe I have to remind you how long it's been since its
progenitors have supported that!
