Submission to mod.computers.vax:

   Within our division, we are relatively new to VAX/VMS, having done
   most of our development within the Unix environment.  We are
   currently contemplating a change where the development programmers
   and application support people are moving over to an 8300 VAX/VMS
   environment.  The documentation and some of the other product lines
   will remain within the Unix environment on Vax's and Masscomp.

   My query is:  What is the best way (reasonably priced) to continue
   to have division wide mail, news and document transfers between
   these systems?  Most of this group should have a variety of
   experiences and thoughts on this matter and any pointers, warnings,
   suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

   Thanks in advance!!
