	Yes, you can use a VMS system for doing remote installation
	but not with RIS.  The Remote System Management software (RSM)
	has support for Ultrix clients in it.  You can also manage
	backups of the Ultrix clients using RSM.

	I've never needed to use RSM for my Ultrix systems, so I
	don't know any of the details.
