They support DECnet gatewaying. I.e. you can do things like:
% telnet name.of.host.running.telnet.gw
Connected to name.of.host.running.telnet.gw
name login: YARBLE:: (YARBLE being a host that runs only decnet)
Screwy Department Vax 8530 VMS 5.0
Username:
or:
% ftp name.of.host.running.ftpd.gw
220 FTP version etc line however it looks
ftp> user YARBLE::username (yarble still a decnet-only host)
331 Password required for gateway access YARBLE (or somesuch message)
Password:
and so on.
