[net.unix-wizards] access newsnet w/ vax under vms 4.1??

slerner@sesame.UUCP (Simcha-Yitzchak Lerner) (08/07/85)

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR LINE-EATER ***

I am looking for a system that will allow our VAX/785 running VMS
4.1 to access the newsnet.  I would like to know if there is any
product that will run on our system that will allow access to the
net without switching the entire system to unix (we can't).

Please respond via mail.  

Thanks in advance.

On a related topic, what's the status of the much touted news server?
Are the foreign (i.e. non-UNIX) clients finished?
