   The original question was "other than using DECservers".  The answer is

Not True, I have seen this done but it is a hack. Under UCX you can
write a (forgive the ultrixism vmsy-types) daemon to wake up on calls
to the lpd socket and transfer the job into the VMS queues. Please
don't write to me asking how this is done exactly 'cos I ain't got the
UCX knowledge to tell you. JB are you out there?
