It is also interesting to note that DEC supports full TCP/IP on two
of its other big operating systems: ULTRIX and TOPS-20. I think they
still have pipe dreams about decnot. I agree, TCP on VMS would make
my job a lot easier also as that's about all that counts around here,
we are far too heterogenous to take decnot seriously. You will be also
very shortly....

P.S. No flames about the current status of TOPS-20, I know, the point
is that DEC saw fit to invest their time and effort recently in this
(just being released with TOPS 6.1, we have it beta in 5.4), so surely
it couldn't be that big a deal with VMS which is supposedly their flagship
product. I suspect competing interests is what is at work here, rally them.
