   The university here is in the process of getting a VAX 8800 as the
central computer. It will primarily run VMS (version 4.5) but we are
also looking at getting Eunice. I was looing for any opinions that
people had. Would people running Eunice please let me know what they
like or dislike about it? Did you get the 4.2BSD version or the SYS5
version? What made the difference? If anyone considered Eunice and rejected
it, could you tell me why? Did you get something else?

   One thing we are having trouble with is the licences. We currently run
two VAXes with 4.3BSD on campus. As I understand it, to use the 4.2BSD
Eunice, we would need to get a V7 licence for the 8800. To use the SYS5/BSD
version we would presumably need both a V7 licence and a SYS5 licence, or
is just the SYS5 licence sufficient? Also, the Wollongong people mentioned
that we could use a SYS3 licence or a SYS 32/V licence. Are these comparable
in cost? Can you run a SYS5 port with a SYS3 licence? 

   If I sound confused it is probably because I am. I would appreciate any
and all help/info that I can get.
