I few days ago I posted a questions asking how a VMS site could join
the Usenet.  The answers I have recieved so far indicate that the only
way would be to run a Unix sub-system called Eunice which will allow
the standard Unix uucp/news software to run.  Hmm. I was hoping for
something simpler/cheaper than that but I suppose that's the way it is.

Perhaps I should widen my question to include any of the "major" networks,
Arpanet (and Internet), Bitnet (is there news here?), csnet, etc. Again,
the questions are:
	1) what software would be required/recommended?
	2) what arrangements would have to be made with other sites or 
	   network administrators to gain access?

Finally, thank you to all those who responded.
