Is there software/hardware that supports a link between IBM PROFFS 
and the VAX? Where can I get information? What is PROFFS?

Thanks.

PROFS is IBM's Professional office system, which has some features like
bullitins, report handling, and mail.  Profs mail is slightly
incompatible with normal mail, though (I don't know the specifics).

I'm not sure what you mean by a link between profs and a Vax, but if you
are trying to send mail, JNET will allow you to set up mail addresses
such as "profs%someuser@ibmnode" - JNET is a RSCS interface for the VAX,
in general.  You can contact sysmsh@ulkyvx.bitnet for more information.
ULKYVX it a vax cluster that is interfaced with a IBM (4341?) using
JNET.
