A while back I read a post about a DECnet product for the Amiga.  Since I have
heard nothing about it since then, I thought I would give the company a call. 
The company is Sydnesis, and they were VERY nice and it was a pleasure to talk
to them.

DECnet (or more accurately TSSnet) for the Amiga is a port of the Mac's
TSSnet.  It is not released yet (he said they are shooting for the end of the
year...), but will provide Phase IV end node support via a serial port or an
ethernet board.  (note I said 'a' serial port - he mentioned that the built-in
port didn't work above 19200 baud, but some of the others went much higher)

The cost for it will be around $400 he said, though that was not a firm quote
or anything.  This sounds like a good product, the more computers the Amiga
can connect to the better off we all are in the end!

By the way, I don't know these people from beans, so this is NOT an
advertisement, just a point of interest for VAX/Amiga users.
