AlphaVM-Free is discontinued, according to their web site,

FYI the creator of the ES40 project went on to write the Avanti/FreeAXP
emulator mentioned earlier.  He now works for VMS Software Inc, working
on the next release of OpenVMS.  Last week I saw him give a very interesting
presentation comparing the VAX, Alpha, Itanium and x86 architectures.
