#under VMS 5.3.1 there is a so called third-party-scsi support.

Actually, it's support for additional X transport protocols.  DEC added a TCPIP
module, and a LAT module.  SCSI (Small Computer System Interconnect) has very
little to do with DECwindows.

#I've found some new transports, but because of lack of documentation
#about DECwindow transport, maybe someone has any idea, how to
#access the new transport. The problem is to connect a SUN SPARCstation
#to a VAXstation via ethernet under X Window System (DECwindows other side).

Us the transport qualifier (/TRANSPORT) of SET DISPLAY when you wish to use an
alternate transport.  Specifically for TCPIP you would use SET
DISPLAY/TRANSPORT=TCPIP (etc).

This of course, assumes that you have a TCP/IP package running on your VMS
system.  Currently if you are running MultiNet, UCX, CMU/Tek, Fusion (I think)
or Wollongong you have X transport capability.  There will probably be more
details on how to use it in the documentation for your TCP/IP package.

The LAT transport is currently used by DEC's Xwindows terminals.
