Well, not speaking officially of course....  TCP/IP is TCP/IP.  Okay, this
is a lie, but you know what I mean.  If the stuff runs on top of TCP/IP
it'll run on TWG's or DEC's, no?  I really dont think that something special
will be done to disallow anyone else's version as a transport.

On TCP/IP support from Digital...  It has been publically stated that while
V1.0 of VMS/ULTRIX Connection (shouldbe VMS/NFS Connection or  VMS/IP Conn...)
doesnt support telnet, the r* commands, nor smtp, telnet is planned
for the next version.  SMTP is being looked at.  Everything else is there,
basically.
