Mac X is available from APDA for $295 a pop. I bought the $100 "evaluation"
version, which is kinda a pain to set up but works very well (even on 
a 19" Radius monitor). 

DEC offers a combination of MACX, a DEC terminal emulator, PC mail, and 
AppleShare file server on the VAX for $440 (for the VAX/VMS side, on 
a TK50 tape) and $295 per Mac license. The VAX (under VMS) will then
do print and AppleShare file serving using AppleTalk (will run on 
ETHERNET). 

Ordering information: 

Call DEC at 1-800-343-4040. 

DEC LanWorks: QA-YPCAA-H5, on TK50 tape. $495. 
Mac License for MACX, terminal emulator: QL-YPH9W-AA: $295.

A friend of mine has ordered the above for his VAX and Macintoshen. I haven't
seen it run personally, myself (minor disclaimer).
