My wife's company is in the process of porting the Mac product TSSnet to
the Amiga.  This provides DECnet End-node support, along with virtual terminal,
VMS Mail, network file transfer and remote file access.  TSSnet on the Mac
is being marketed by Alisa Systems.  It has not yet been determined how
the Amiga product will be marketed - discussions are underway with
Thursby Software Systems, the developers of TSSnet.  Also not clear
is what the demand for an Amiga version will be - feel free to send
me email if you have opinions on this.  The Amiga version will have
asynch DDCMP support, and discussions have started with Ameristar
to get information to allow support for their Ethernet board.

Ameristar's phone number is (516) 698-0834 , by the way.
