As of last time I checked, AmeriStar offered TCP/IP + NFS, and a
StarNet (I think, it's the DataPoint software) option for their card.
Not DECNET. Of course, you could add TCP/IP to a VMS system playing
gateway to the A2000 net.

They have dropped their Zorro I card (thanx to CBM <- obligatory
derogatory comment), and probably their SOTS card. They do sell a
Zorro II card, and it works in the A2000 (at least the one I used did
:-).

I've lost the phone number I used, but you have to be persistent.
They're a small company, and tend to vanish completely when there's a
conference. It toom ke about two weeks to get in touch with them.
