(I don't know if he still does)       H The Model 76 is not supported as a VAXeln window server for a variety ofI reasons that I won't go into at this point.   However, what you can do is H to make the Model 76 with VMS (barebones VMS by the way) behave as if it( is an X terminal.  Here's how you do it:    A 1:	Fix your startup to call some procedure that behaves and works @ 	with the VAXeln window server DCL script that starts the remote@ 	session.  Take a look at the  VAXeln DCL and you should have a D 	pretty good idea of how to make your DCL talk to its DCL.  You will> 	probably have to hard-wire the "server" name since you won't  	be booting from that server  B 2:	edit DECW$STARTUP.COM and remove (or comment out) the line that@ 	runs DECW$STARTLOGIN.EXE.  That's the piece that puts the login+ 	box up on the screen.  You won't need it.    8 3:	Create the file DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_TRUSTED.DAT   and @ 	insert HOSTNAME::SYSTEM as one of the trusted clients that will> 	be able to use and change the security of the server on your C 	machine.  SYSTEM will run the  login box, and change the secuirity 2 	list during the login process.  (There is also a = 	DECW$SERVER_ACCESS_ALLOWED.DAT, that allows access, but not  $ 	allow changes to the security list)   Reboot the machine.       L You won't have all of the features.    You could use the same server to bootL the machine into a VMScluster and use that bootnode info to find the name ofL the node where you want to start the session, but that's an exercise for the reader.        --     William M.
