A non sequitor.  We use the Ethernet hardware for communications between our
VMS and unix machines constantly, using both ftp and telnet.  There are
more than one source of VMS versions of them.  I doubt that there are VMS
protocols available under unix (except that Vaxen running Ultrix can speak
both DECnet and ftp/telnet and act as relays) since the protocols are

proprietary, but ftp/telnet under VMS is quite possible.
