Hi everyone !!

I'm the proud owner of a nice ol' VAXstation 2000 which I received this
summer. I don't know much about it, it came preinstalled with an old version
of uVMS (5.6 I think) together with DECWindows (I think ...) ... But I did
not get a mouse, so DECWindows seems unusable ... Are there some keyboards
equivalents to the mouse ?? Is there a way to plug a standard mouse on it ??

I successfully netbooted the latest NetBSD snapshot from a Linux machine,
and wow, the big 19' screen looks wonderful !! but ...

Which is the best screen emulation ? vt100 doesn't seem so good ??

I then tried vi .... where's Escape ?? seems like F11 did the trick, but
what are the keyboard translations to standard keyboards. Mine is a
swiss-french LK201AK...

Does X run on my hardware ?? How ??

Thanks for helping.
