I agree.  I think this would be a useful group.  I just wonder how much overlap
with vmsnet.internals there would be.

Makes sense to me.

vmsnet.alphaAXP.whatever

would be my vote (what the hey, AXP is part of the name, after all).  I think
the Alpha AXP issues are distinct enough to justify starting with the third
level even if we only have a .misc to start. 

vmsnet.alphaAXP.misc
vmsnet.alphaAXP.sysmgt
vmsnet.alphaAXP.OSF1
vmsnet.alphaAXP.OpenVMS (this ought to get a reaction from Jamie!)
vmsnet.alphaAXP.windowsNT
etc.

   This was probably the most disastrous election result for the American
   people since James Buchanon became president.  Heaven help us.
