You use Wollongong TCP/IP, or Process Software's version, or something
like that. We have the 1st of these, and other than installation (which
was done by a 3rd party who shall remain nameless for now), we have no
problem with it. Only 1 caveat. You can't use rsh or rcp if the VAX
is running VMS unless it is also running Eunice. grrr...
