Right... my concern was a reference I ran into that there was some
external active equipment. I've seen CI coax cables on the back
of some VAXen, but it wasn't clear to me that the 750 contained
all the gear necessary to provide the same interface.

I think I did mention that he has an HSJ40 (as well as an HSZ40). That
was the plan

He would *love* to find a CIPCA for his Alpha servers.
