     Is there anybody out there getting netnews on a VMS machine without
EUNICE?  I'm interested in convincing the management at our (VMS only) site
to hook up to the net, and I need to know:

	1) Is there a stand-alone VMS port available?

	2) Is it in the public domain? If not, how much does it cost?

	3) Is any unusual hardware or software required?

	4) Has it been tried under VMS 4.x?

	5) How much effort is involved in getting it up and running?
