In my experience, Vaxes of all shapes and sizes have never really kept time very well, especially under VMS (I have no Vax/Ultrix experience). If I compare even 2 8650s here, one being synched to a stratum 2 server and one keeping its own time, I see noticeable drift with the Vax running fast. I certainly wouldn't suggest that any Vax be used as a stratum 1 server. In fact, why should it even be higher than stratum 4? -- Ed Wilts, BC Systems Corp., 4000 Seymour Place, Victoria, B.C., Canada, V8X 4S8 EWilts@Galaxy.Gov.BC.CA Office: (604) 389-3430 Fax: (604) 389-3412
