the university of illinois has a distributed printing system. a central
server resides on a vax 3500 and talks to satellite servers and/or clients
on suns, vaxes, convexes (convi?) and an ibm 3081. this is all tcp-based.
however, since the 3500 runs ultrix and decnet-ultrix, a decnet interface
could be written in a straightforward fashion. 

accounting cards (well, theyre virtual...) are cut to the ibm-based
accounting system by the central server (co). chargeback is quite accurate.

i didnt write it, i just use it...
