i like the idea, however, the machines will be too far away from my NetBSD/i386
machine to do that.  i was thinking along the lines of a terminal server since
that could be hooked into the ethernet and be reached from my desktop machine.
(the machines will have ethernet connected to them, but i will still need a
console of some sort)

in the future these machines won't even be in the same building with me, but
will be connected by ethernet with a fiber loop between the buildings.

I'm asking because I've got two VS3100's in need of a real and pleasant to
use operating system.  (VMS is unpleasant and Ultrix is not a real OS).
