One idea brought up was to LAV the 780 to multiple uVAX IIs. What exactly does this buy us? Can we set up terminal servers to share the 780 and uVAXs just as we would for a normal cluster of 780s? Can we share disks and have one common SYSUAF.DAT? We've got three RM05s and one RA81 that we'd like to share across systems. Any help anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | David G.
