AlisaSystems (1-800-99-ALISA) has (at least) two products you might be
interested in:  AlisaShare and TSSNet.

AlisaShare (currently in beta test) turns any Vax into an AppleShare server.
I believe Alisa has recently licensed the AppleShare software to go on the
Macs.

TSSNet turns any Mac into a DECNET end node.  You need one copy for each
Mac.  You get mail, file transfer and DECNET terminal (through your current
terminal emulator).

TOPS is also coming out with a version of its software for VMS.  You would
need to have TOPS for each Mac you wanted to have VAX access.

Disclaimer: We are a beta test site for Alisa but I would recommend their
stuff anyway.  We are also beta testing VMS TOPS but haven't received it
yet (RSN).  Also, these are my personal opinions and do not necessarily
reflect the opinions of my employer.
