Nope.... you lose. I would have hoped that someone from DEC would have
gotten this one right!!! :-)

	The last version to support the MicroVax I was Ultrix 2.0.
This version will give you NFS support, and I believe it also gave Decnet-
Internet gateway support.

	We're running 2.0 on our Microvax I, albeit without DECnet... the
box is a terrible slug already. I didn't keep a copy of the release notes for
2.0, but I know that I upgraded that system to the latest possible release.

	Be sure that you *really* want to use this beast... the power of a PC
for the cost of a Vax.
