I know that this is not exactly what you are looking for, but I
am running a VAXmate with an extra Ethernet card (3Com EtherLink+)
Through this, I can  access DECnet based utilities (e.g. the VAXmate
file server software), and PC/IP simultaneously, each through a
separate card.

For example, I have FTP'd from one machine (UNIX) to a virtual disk on
another machine (VMS). (The virtual disk communication being governed
by DECnet-DOS.)

I see no problem in extending this to low level calls, although I
do not have the DECnet-DOS software to find out. (The HLL libraries
for DECnet-DOS are not included with the `basic' software for the
VAXmate.)

Ian.
