According to the DEC OSI development team, they are putting the
"hooks" to allow NTP time to be imported to DTSS for Ultrix. I asked
about VMS. DEC wasn't aware that there was an NTP implementation for
VMS. When I told them of the vendor who "had it now" the speaker said
he would take that information back to the development team.
