[comp.sys.dec] Has anybody used UCX to talk to PC's running Unix?

Has anybody used UCX to talk to Unix machines other than VAX's running
Ultrix?  If so, does it work?

We have 5 or 6 PC's running Interactive Unix, and I would like to be
able to talk to them with TCP/IP, since they cannot talk DECnet.

I would appreciate hearing from people that have tried using UCX to
talk to non-Ultrix nodes (especially PC nodes) and what kind of
experiences you have had.

When I was at a Crosfield, now Camex in Manchester NH, we ran this
exact configuration.  We had no problems getting this configuration
to work.  We could perform all the functions that UCX supported.
