Dear Ms. Romine,
A good place for this kind of question is:
tru64-unix-managers at ornl.gov
This is a list and you have to register. Everyone on it (almost) is
running some kind of Alpha hardware. You post your question and get
replies direct. Then you post a summary and tell everyone which
suggestion worked.
good luck.
