Process Software Corporation offers a product for the VAX/VMS that supports
FTP, SMTP, TELNET, and NFS.  It can run over the same ethernet that is
concurrently running DECNET.  It is also one of the only products that
states that it supports the DEQNA board (which is not totally IEEE 802.3
compliant).  Their phone number is (508)879-6994.

Note that in no way do I work for Process Software Corporation.  I only
have experience with their products, and have found their technical
support to be very professional.
