And here lies the rub. I am using simh and a hobbyist install at home. No
access to updates etc. Not like when I had multitude of real vaxes and
support contracts etc. (go on what is the collective noun for a group of
vaxes and don't tell me it is a cluster) It is just my home network for ease
is vpned into the company network otherwise I would have stuck with
addresses that had their subnets in the recognised class ranges
