	yes, no problem. and supposedly ultrix 2.0 will support a sort of
semi-transparent file and remote login capabilities (vms site says copy and the
ultrix site takes the copy on one side and converts it to a ftp on the other)

	yes, just fine.....

	it is call a DEBNT and is the slowest ethernet board DEC makes (on the
fastest bus the dec makes :-) )....anyway I understand that the delua on a
bi->unibus adapter is faster (though more expensive) explore with you sales 
person re: the DEBNT II....

(by the way, another pathway is to get tcp/ip for vms for an educational 
institution it is VERY cheap and I DO NOT MEAN  wollongong...)
