The new release of the VCS software, V1.1, explicits allows for the system running the VCS to do other things (i.e., Digital got around to checking it out and found it works as expected). Also, V1.1 supports the use of a VAXStation-II (maybe only the /GPX) as a VCS system. We have a VCS system whose inputs come from both an LAVC (of MicroVAXes) and several standalone MicroVAX systems. Sure cuts down on floor space for all those terminals... Plus the VCS software allows one to do cute things like execute the same command on a set of VAXes by typing only a single command into the VCS or, our hardware person can watch the repair people running diagnostics by logging into our VCS system over the network and viewing the system the diagnostics are running on. = Frank J.
