AlisaTalk is a VMSINstall procedure and can be done in minutes by anyone
slightly conversant with VMS software installation
I found no difficulties and the documentation is quite good.

The only other connections I have tried have been IP connections to both
VAX/VMS and VM/CMS and UNIX hosts and that all depends on the flavour of
TCPIP you use. The mac part is nearly always trivial.

Hardware wise I am familiar (an overstatement) with the Kinetics Fastpath and
again you can make that as easy or as difficult as you please depending
on wether you use default software or play around with it.
