I am assuming that you are logging onto the VAX via a terminal (VTxxx) of some
sort. It is the terminal that is reading your keystrokes and sending the
appropriate character to the VAX. From what I have seen with one of the people
here, the only way you can set up the terminal with a Dvorak keyboard is to
have someone blow another ROM for your keyboard. (He knew someone at DEC who
was also a Dvorak user, and so was able to get a non-standard keyboard.) I am
not sure whether the ROM is part of a one chip keyboard controller or whether
it is separate.

The only other possibility that I can think of is for someone to write a piece
of code that could intercept the characters from the terminal and remap them
to their equivalent Dvorak keyboard position.
