I am expecting a VAXLAB system sometime this summer. It will come with a single-
user license.  Is it possible to have my apple-talk network share the disk on
the microvax II? IF so (and I believe it is possible) what are some vendors and
costs invloved?

Secondly, we have an ethernet cable on campus and thru it access to many large
main-frames etc. If I want my micro-vax system to be a node on this network, wil
l
I have to obtain an additional port (and hence a multi-user license from DEC) to
do this?  I already know of a source for the board and software necessary to tal
k
to the network but I would like to access the microvax from home by dialling up
the network.

Thanks for any help
