An institute at our university has a local DECNET with a VAX under VMS
and several PC with DEC's DEPCA ethernet adapters, where they run
several DEC protocols. They will soon be connected to our TCP/IP based
LAN and are looking for a way to run TCP/IP software directly on these
PC's, if possible concurrently with the DEC software.

Has anybody an idea for such an arrangement?
More specifically, is there perhaps a packet driver for the DEC
adapter somewhere, or a packet driver which can be used with DEC's DLL
interface, something similar to the NDIS-to-Packet converter from FTP
software?  Or any other solutions...  ?
