[rescue] VMS for VAXStation

[John Francini]

You need to join one of the national HP user group organizations -- in the US
it's called Connect -- once you do that you can register on openVMS.org for
license PAKs.

In general, openVMS.org is a go-to place for all things VMS related.

on it. I'm far enough through the OpenBSD install that I'm sure everything
will work.

that. (OK with me; I am sure I'll need help from time to time.) Are there
other options?
