Um, Terry, you did leave out just one minor point - the addresses of these
systems!

They are:

	OpenVMS
	    axpvms.pa.dec.com
	    axpvms.cc.utexas.edu

	Digital UNIX (formerly DEC OSF/1 AXP)
	    axposf.pa.dec.com  (look - two obsolete acronyms!)
	    axposf.stanford.edu

For any of these, telnet to them, log in as axpguest, no password.  You'll
be presented with a form to apply for a free account.

Yes, quite a few people have used these systems for porting.
