I am pleased to report that Aquinas College of Newton, MA, has opened
its new Computers in Telecommunications Lab, assembled from entirely
from equipment and software donated by DEC and other supporters.

The Lab includes a uVAX II/GPX running DECnet-Ultrix 4.2, 20 VAXmates
running DOS 3.1 with DECnet, 12 PROs running P/OS 3.2 with DECnet, and
4 PROs running VENIX.  Thinwire Ethernet interconnects the VAXmates and
4 of the PROs to the uVAX.

I would like to express my appreciation to the many experts on this
NewsGroup who helped out with hardware, software, and technical
advice during the construction of this Lab.

The Lab represents a computing resource worth about $50,000 had
it been purchased new about 5 years ago.  The total out-of-pocket
expense to Aquinas College came to $38.

The Lab will be used to introduce incoming Aquinas students to
computer fundamentals, preparing them to go on to careers in
business where familiarity with computers and computer networking
is an essential skill.
