I need to connect a DEC (decnet) system to an HP unix system. My objective
is to make the remote login, and file transfer services work.

I can make the required physical connections of the LAN's involved...
However, I assume a direct connection won't work. I need some kind of
protocol tranlator in the middle.

For a number of reasons, each machine must think it's working in its native
services (decnet or arpa-berkeley).

Can I use a PC and some netware?
Does someone make a translator?
Can I directly connect the two networks, and put some software package on
my HP (9000/370)? It's out of the question to add software to the
DEC machines (PDP/RSTS) ;-(.
I've got some PC's and terminal servers using the arpa-berkeley tools, what
about them?

Am I crazy? :-)

E-mail response preferred. ... normal stuff about summarizing ...

Thanx.
