We recently ordered an Exabyte for our VMS VAX-11/780 (UNIBUS).  Since
we have a DECnet network to several VAXstations, it may have been
a mistake (but I doubt it).  Is there an Ethernet version of the
Exabyte?  I suspect it would cost a lot more but it would save us buying
one for every workstation or physically moving a SCSI Exabyte from one
workstation to another.  If an Ethernet version exists, are there any
restrictions or problems?  For example, does BACKUP at any node work?
