Well, judging by this, and Frank McConnell's message. I'll make sure to
grab the newest firmware I can.
I don't plan on doing any major work with these, just gonna hook them
to my VaxStation 3100/m38, DEC3000/400, Sparc Ultra1, 2 Cabletron Hubs,
etc... really only just because I can. It will be nice, though, to
manage everything from one terminal. Now if I could only talk the wife
into letting me put a VT420 in the bedroom or den, so I don't have to go
downstairs to the computer room just to check my mail & news...
Jarkko (or anyone else) - if you want me to look up something specific
on configuring your VCP-1000, e-mail me direct, and I can check my User
Manual and Config Guide for you
