The 703 area code appears to be in Virginia near DC, so that might be a good guess at his location.

I don't have a land line and my cell is left over from living in Ohio so my 513 area code won't give anyone any hints about where I am (Hint: they say Yee haw a lot down here). BTW, If this VAX can't find a home and is destined for a dumpster, I'll hold it as long as necessary. I'm very close to Fort Worth, TX (Okay, I gave it away...) -- John H. Reinhardt

Where are you and your old friend located? Have you posted your offer to any of the comp.os.vms, comp.sys.dec, or comp.sys.dec.micro newsgroups? There might even be someone on the TUHS mailing list which would like it to run BSD on. I feel sure that someone would be interested in it. -- Grant. . . . unix || die -- Grant. . . . unix || die

So far > enough that I can't be tempted That's a small enough machine that it wouldn't cost much to ship (via Pak-Mail or similar, if the current owner's not up for dealing with shipping). I'm not too far from DC, but it's still 6 hours on the road for a round-trip, so not too resource-effective for me to go get it. Noel
