One big problem with DEC equipment is that it typically uses a rather slow
ethernet ineterface. This has been evidenced in the past by VAX's choking
on frequent broadcasts.
One way to get around the VAX-as-server problem is to squash the write-
packet size down to something like 2048 ("wsize=2048" as a mount option)
and perhaps to increase the timeout to 20 ("timeo=20", hwere the default
is 7)
