...i've been asked by a friend to recommend a means of connecting
a VAX 750 running VMS to upwards of 10 - 15 PC/AT's running MS-DOS.
No virtual-terminal facilities are required, just (it seems) simply
using the 750 as a remote file-server.  The machines will be physically
separated by about 300 yds.  A simplified, probably menu-based user-
interface will be layered on top of whatever is used.

...as far as i can tell, something like Kermit should suffice; as i've
never had to mess with this particular kind of critter, i'd like to 
request recommendations from anyone who has experience with this
kind of setup...e-mail only, please, i can't see this as being of
widespread interest.
