Plain VMS 7.3, with DECnet, will run on a 11/725 and uVAX 2000. Just set 
the MAXPROCESSCNT to 16 or 12 and AUTOGEN. DECwindows -- no way. TCP/IP 
-- ditto. Maybe you could squeeze in a Fortran compiler. VMStailor will 
do wonders if you're tight on disk space and do not need all the 
optional components.
