Anybody out there that can give advice on how to
give users on a DECnet access to BITNET?

Given a situation with a rather large DECnet and an
IBM/BITNET node to connect to. The DECnet consisting
of various machines (PDP, VAX, Dec-10/20) and operating
systems (RSX, RT, VMS, ULTRIX, UNIX, Tops-10, TOPS-20).
And with users on most of the machines that want to get
access to BITNET.

How achieve this in an efficient way? Know about UREP and
JNET RSCS-emulation software. Suppose one runs JNET on a
VAX and connects it to the IBM-node. What about the users
on the other machines? Give each one an account on this
VAX, or run JNET on several VAXes in the DECnet? Or is there
any gatewaying software that can function together with, say
JNET, and distribute mail and files from BITNET to the various
DECnet-nodes?

Any comments appreciated. Thanks in advance.
