     Why do these things always happen to me? My RK07 just crashed 3 out
of 4 heads and I wouldn't take a chance with the 4th. Anybody got any? 
I would like to either replace these heads or get a different drive
cheaply, since this is my own machine and I can't afford a really
expensive drive or DEC service. It's on an 11/34 (unibus) and I do have
room for an RH11, but can't afford one from one of the used equipment
dealers. 

	On a slightly less depressing note, I'd also like to ask if
anyone has succesfully run a 4.x BSD system using terminals on Decservers
connected to a network. The network would consist of only a VAX 11/750
and the terminal servers. Forgive me if this is a stupid question, I'm
new to networking; but it seems like a reasonable idea to me. I have not
been able to find any code that looks like a driver for something like
this- the ethernet code is there, but nothing to tie it in with unix
tty's... But as I said I don't really understand networking and
ethernet. Thanks a lot for any help.
