Hi Jay,
I don't know too much about OpenVMS still learning, which is the reason
why I have installed it onto my vax.
Yes there is a free hobbyist program, and YES get the complete media
kit, as the what the hobbyist program offers you is a small sample (they
don't mind you copying these btw)
Though to be honest I don't think that it will run on the 11/44
unfortunately.
