YES YES YES!!!!!! *Jumps about and throws mouse at floor like football*
Oops...

At any rate, I am now successfully logged into the MicroVax II as SYSTEM!

Thanks to all who helped me out! Now if I just had documentation other
than the built-in HELP database. =-D Oh well. What I have here is a
system that controlled and queried devices at a utility company. It has
a package (and associated running processes) that appear to update a
database of these devices and notify me when they are inoperative. My
theory is that it connected to them via modems because it complains that
it can't access various phone related devices etc etc etc on startup.

Basically, now what I'd like to do is get some assistance (in private
email if it's more appropriate) to make a full backup of the system so
that I can feel safer playing around with it. It's only been 7 or 8
years since I used VMS. =D I don't see any programming packages except
the MACRO assembler. Hmmm...let's see I think I did Macro programming
back in 91 or 92 maybe. ;)

Thanks for the help and if anyone wants to help me acquire a TK50 tape
and make a backup of this system, please let me know. It would be
appreciated. I'm terrible about getting money to folks but I DO PAY MY
DEBTS. =)

PS: BTW, it's running VAX/VMS 5.3-1, which is apparently not covered
under the hobbyist license agreement. Hmmm...wonder if I can find the
media to upgrade to 5.4...
