After reviewing the doc for ultrix 2.0, we discovered that all that is really
supported using the new g-node scheme is NFS support.  There is no mention of
vms stuff.  On the other hand, we are currently running DECnet/Ultrix which
allows me to:

	VMS> COPY FILE.FOO GORDON::"/tmp/123"
and	csh> dcp "VMSNODE::USERS:[DAVIDO]FILENAME.EXT" /tmp/123

but not csh> cp "VMSNODE::USERS:[DAVIDO]FILENAME.EXT" /tmp/123

dcp is one of a few special commands that are built specifically to
work with Decnet/Ultrix.

Can somebody suggest a good implementation of tcp/ip for vms, or, alternately,
a good implementation of NFS for VMS. (N.B> We are not an educational 
institution. [read $++]).
