Sorry, I was responding to the OP. As has been covered since, HP's TCPIP Services for OpenVMS' "broadcast mask" is (apparently) what is more commonly known as the "broadcast address."

Message-ID: Hello folks! For VMS hobbyists in London... On ebay.co.uk there is a pretty good AlphaServer 1000A 5/400 loaded with CDROM and disks. The auction starts at =A3 0.99 so it seems a real bargain for you hobbyists right there. I suppose that if nobody buys, it will finish its life in the dump. Please don't let it happen!

I took a set of cast off VAX 6000 racks and "chopped" (ala hot rod chopping a car - take a mid section out to shorten) them down into a very sturdy welding table. -- Lee K.
