alp $ help /mess FTP_EXQUO

 FTP_EXQUOT,  exceeded session quota; connection refused

  Facility:     TCPIP, FTP Server

  Explanation:  The maximum number of sessions has been exceeded. You can set
                the maximum number of FTP sessions by editing the appropriate
                parameter in the SYS$MANAGER:UCX$FTPD_STARTUP.COM command
                procedure.

  User Action:  Wait for a session to become free.


   The file name has changed since the days of UCX, and I don't
immediately see any sessions parameter in
SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$FTP_STARTUP.COM, but perhaps "tcpip show service /full
ftp" would be informative (and "tcpip set service /limit=n ftp" would be
useful).

alp $ tcpip show version

  Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.3 - ECO 2
  on a AlphaStation 200 4/233 running OpenVMS V7.3-1

   And speaking of which, as I approach the great switchover to a PWS
500a, just because it's not supported hardware, is the following the
best I should expect?

alp2 $ tcpip show version

  Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Alpha Version V5.3 - ECO 2
  on a Digital Personal WorkStation  running OpenVMS V7.3-1
                                   ==

I think not.  I expected to see my "500a", supported or not.

alp2 $ write sys$output f$getsyi( "hw_model")
1556

What does a real 500au say?

Exactly the same as what you get.  Also note:

$ write sys$output f$getsyi( "hw_name")
Digital Personal WorkStation

Though the docs to $getsyi say that SYI$_HW_NAME can return up to 60 
characters, the DPW names seem to be truncated at about 30 for some 
reason.
