TCP/IP for VMS -- Summary

[Barry Shein]

Just a note. I noticed that a lot of people are running the Wollongong package
(as are some departments here) for TCP/IP support.

A common complaint (here too) is their mailer.

Suggestion: Do what we did, scrap their mailer and try the Software Tools
stuff. It requires a little more work but you end up with a mailer with
sources to add whatever little smarts you need, it is SMTP so it talks
to anything else that is SMTP, you just provide a 'channel' for it. Here
at BU it also talks to itself over DecNet links in some of the science
department's lans.

Don't get ruffled, 99.9% of what you needed to buy was their TCP/IP+device
support. Throwing out their mailer shouldn't bother you.
