- I agree. I think this would be a useful group. I just wonder how much overlap

- Makes sense to me.

- vmsnet.alphaAXP.whatever
-
- would be my vote (what the hey, AXP is part of the name, after all). I think
- the Alpha AXP issues are distinct enough to justify starting with the third
- level even if we only have a .misc to start.
-
- vmsnet.alphaAXP.misc
- vmsnet.alphaAXP.sysmgt
- vmsnet.alphaAXP.OSF1
- vmsnet.alphaAXP.OpenVMS (this ought to get a reaction from Jamie!)
- vmsnet.alphaAXP.windowsNT
- etc.
