I haven't been reading this group so don't know if my questions have
been answered recently.  

Does anyone have any impressions they would like to share on the VAXmate?
Our department is buying several, but I have an option of going for an AT
or other compatible.  I've heard that the VAXmate is overpriced.  True?
We would be communicating with VAXen via modem rather than ethernet, so the
ethernet board which I hear is included would be superfluous.

What software and hardware are included with (inseparable from) the 
basic machine.  Will it run all AT software and what are the main 
differences (if any) from the AT?

Any comments, positive or negative, are gratefully accepted.
