IPC between VMS and ULTRIX

[Chandra Chegireddy]

Hi:

  I am working on setting up a distributed processing system including
VAX and DEC stations. So far the we implemented the VMS portion of the
IPC system. Now we want to add the DECstations running ULTRIX 3.0 and the
DECnet-ULTRIX. Is it possible to make two processes connect and talk to
each other when one is running under VMS and the other is running under
ULTRIX?

  It looks like ULTRIX likes to think in terms of SOCKETS for connections
while VMS is looking in terms of LINKS. If anyone has attempted this before
or have any ideas or examples, I would very much like to receive them.

  If I receive significant number of replies, I will post a summary.
Thanks in advance....
