Does anyone have experience with DEC's DECnet-ULTRIX V2.0 product. I understand it acts as a bidirectional DECnet-Internet gateway. I.E., it supports DECnet and Internet commands for file transfer, remote login, and mail. I have a document from DEC that show examples of using this product. It "translates" VMS commands into TCP/IP!? This is very interesting to me because I have a very large community of VMS users who wish to use the services of the DDN. But they have no TCP/IP experience. Nor do I wish them to have to buy and learn TCP/IP applications (SMTP, FTP, TELNET).I need away to route VMSmail and All-In-One mail onto the DDN, an receive DDN mail back into these DEC mail systems. If you have experience with DECnet-ULTRIX V2.0 (or later?) I would like to hear about it. Does it really allow VMS users to access services on the DDN and vice-versa? I will summarize and re-post, if response/interest in sufficient. Keith R. Hacke McDonnell Douglas - MCAIR Telecommunications 314-895-5343
