At Bucknell University, we have a VAX 11/780 running VMS, a 750 running
Ultrix, and some Sun 3/50's.  We are about to connect everthing via
Ethernet.  Here is our problem.

We need a TCP/IP product for the 780 running VMS.  We do not yet have
an Ethernet board, and are considering three possibilities:

1. An Interlan board with on-board TCP/IP and other application
software.

2. An Excelan board with on-board TCP/IP and other application
software.

3. DEC DELUA with TCP/IP from Wollongong or Process Software.

Does anyone have any experience with any of these options?  Will they
let us exchange mail and files between the 780 and the other machines?
Is there a better way to go?  Please respond by mail.  I don't normally
read this newsgroup.
