 The University of Florida has several diskless Vaxstation 2000
 workstations in a large campuswide ethernet environment.

 Periodically the Vaxstations just die. We have talked to DEC about
 this problem, and they say that a problem does exist with VMS 4.5
 and the cluster environment.

 They say that the answer is to BUY VMS 4.6  . We are quite pissed off
 about DEC's lack of a fix.     
 
 Can the mystical wizards out there tell me what the REAL problem is
 with the Vaxstation/cluster/VMS4.5 interaction (or lack of) ??
 
 Does anyone want to buy some used Vaxstations real cheap ??
 
 In disgust ....      Sonny @beach.cis.ufl.edu     ..
