	My plan is to get the SCO box running BIND, LDAP, NIS, etc. All the back-end services that make a network easier to use. It's still a pain to have to set up hosts files for each box. DNS would be a much more elegant solution. Right now, my laptop is providing MOP remote booting capacity for the MicroVAX 3100. I'd like to move this functionality to either the SCO box or the HP 9000. I had originally planned to use the VAX 11/750 for this, but I'm opposed to running BSD on it (preferring to run VMS), and I don't have the needed skill with VMS administration to get all this running. UNIX just seems to be a more natural choice for such services.		My plan is to get the SCO box running BIND, LDAP, NIS, etc. All the back-end services that make a network easier to use.
