Not really a 3100, but maybe a bit comparable to the 4000 VLC. It uses the
same CPU, but the better ethernet adapter (the SGEC from the newer 4000s),
an improved SPX graphics (if it's a VXT2000+), but a completely different
memory map.

Of course it is, but there are lots of things to hack for NetBSD to run on it.

The location of the software for it was mentioned somewhere, the VXT is a
really usable X-terminal.
