  I too would be interested in hearing something about this. The school I
work at currently has as their main U*x system a 6000-310 (Slow, Slow, Slow).
If for some reason DEC is not going to continue to upgrade Ultrix on VAX systems
in the future I would like to know. I'd ask a sales rep, but we all know the
kind of answer I would get from them.
