I don't know how much DEC charges for a DECnet license, but I don't think
it's significantly more than $2K. It would obviously be nicer running
over an Ethernet (are there any VAXes in the world without Ethernet??),
but it will run over a serial line if that's all you've got. You get
file transfer, remote login, and mail -- DEC has hacked up sendmail so
it talks to VMS mail, so you can easily put up a gateway between VMS-land
and UNIX-land.
