Seriously? I have this vague memory of VMS 5.5 turning off the deqna interface
and not paying attention to it because it was unsupported. This may have been
when we were trying to boot the uvax II from the cluster server though. And
it's been almost 10 years now, so I may be misremembering the whole thing.
