I looked for a keyword but didn't seem to find an appropriate one.
Has anyone suggested or are any projects underway to create an
ELN version of DECwindows for VAXstations? There are lots of
VAXstation 2000's that will NOT be upgraded in memory above
the standard original 6MB. The cost is much too high. However,
a great deal of them are ONLY running DISPLAY SERVER mode.
Is an ELN version of DECwindows possible? Planned?

I had spoken to the ELN folks a while back about doing just
what you're interested. This was of course before the windowing
terminal came to life.
It is possible, I even had it working once on a 2000, and it had
relatively decent performance. There are other tricks also for those
2000s that are now almost useless. Try running it as only a DECwindows
display server, with almost nothing else in a cluster. It works
relatively well. (you hve to define the client nodes in some file
that looks like decw$server_trusted_nodes.com or something like that)
