[Simh] HPE has started emailing the final hobbyist licenses

[Kevin Handy]

I remember trying to find pricing for a tcpip/ucx license for a MicroVax
3100 shortly after Compaq bought out EC. After three days of phone tag, and
frequent "Which version of Windows doed VMS run on", I finally managed to
get someone who left a quote on my answering machine.

$3000 per user.

I tried calling back to find out more info about this quote the next day
using the provided phone number, but was told that that individual no
longer worked there, and they had no idea what this VMS thing was.

Could never find any path to the VMS people after that. Ended up hacking
something less useful using a variety of hacks, mostly involving ckermit
and a serial line. Not as fast or reliable as it could have been.
