[comp.os.vms] rfi: connection to fidonet from VMS

kieffer%Ucnet.UNCA.AdhocNet.CA@UNCAEDU.BITNET (Rom Kieffer, Academic Computing Services) (04/14/88)

We are looking for a means to connect a VMS machine into the FIDO network.

the goal is to have users across the country use local microcomputers for
bulletin board and mail services, with the VMS hub acting as a message
switch by dialing the remote systems regularly for pickup and delivery.
(Datapac provides the capability to use the public carrier to reach
remote cities, then to use the connection to the local phone system
to dial a microcomputer anywhere in the DDD areas for just a small
charge.)

We are operating a network funded by the university and the Secretary
of State to empower disabled users by bringing computer communications
between peers, service agencies, organizations to the grass roots level.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
