Actually, DG currently supports IP/TCP only under their native UNIX
running on the MV series computers (32 bits). IP/TCP is NOT available 
for the following DG configurations :
	- MV series computers running AOS/VS
	- MV series computers running hosted UNIX (UNIX running as a process
	  under AOS/VS)
	- 16 bit Eclipse series computers running AOS

IC/TCP will be available in the future for hosted UNIX on MV series machines.

I need to go from AOS (16 bit Eclipse) to UNIX (4.2 on a VAX 11/780).
So, far all I have found to perform this function is KERMIT, but as I
said in my original request, the AOS version of KERMIT from COLUMBIA is
a mess and does not operate correctly.
