   I might be able to buy a used Vaxstation 2 and would like to know more
about this machine.
Does it run Ultrix, VMS, either ?  (I know many Vaxstations 3100 can run
either.)
What kind of cpu/fpu does it have ?  What kind of performance can be expected ?
The machine has a 85 Meg HD and a tape "subsystem".  Are these SCSI devices, or
some other kind ? 
What kinds of ports does it have ? (serial, parallel, ethernet, SCSI ... )
I don't know whether a keyboard and monitors are included.  If not, what kinds
are needed ?  Can the machine be used via a terminal connected to a serial
port ?
Does a used machine carry a "right-to-use" type of license ala Sun ?
If the boot tapes are available, does that imply a license ?
Is any free software available for this machine, e.g., X ?

     Thanks in advance,
