Yes, I'm most aware; actually, I think you may've brought that up on
the (or an) Encompasserve mailing list, at the time.  (Because I did
not realize that, until you told me, about I64.)

Tru64 UNIX, up to V5.1B, amazingly works fine.  What I'm trying to
look into, is if I can get a faster NIC to work, even if while not
under VMS; in such a scenario, I could use the Multia/UDB as an X
terminal, more or less (whilst having some Alpha tools of interest
at my disposal).
