Does anybody know if it's possible (and if so, if it's been done) to find
out some aspect of system status about a remote machine on a DECnet?  What
I'm particularly interested in right now is how to find out the state of
the print queues on another machine, but I can see this generalizing into
any facet of system status.  The ideal would be something fast enough to
be interactive, that could return its information to a terminal.

Thanks much.
