Hello, all, and thanks for the feedback and info so far...

They'll probably be doing very little that's taxing to the system (perhaps
ytalk, email via Pine or Elm), but what will be taxing are the ssh
connections. Right now all of my users use ssh rather than telnet, which
is fine on my 68060, but seems kinda slow on a 68040. If my new VAX
4000/60 is a bit slower than a 68040, then I'll probably have people ssh
to another machine and telnet via a local link to the VAX.

Is anyone here running ssh on their VAX? Does anyone have keygen times for
the ssh keys?

Thanks,
John Klos
