We have a Sun Sparcstation serving as a new server for our Unix machines.
We would like to extend this to several VMS machines on differing clusters
via ANU news and nntp.  This avoids having to worry about fragmenting the
VMS disks and the relatively scarce VMS disk space.  Decnet would be the
protocol of choice.

Looks like a port of nntp to the Sun DNI (Decnet) might be possible.  If
anyone has any thoughts on this I would like to hear them.

Many Thank's in advance.
