Yes, I do something similar all the time: PC --> PACX --> VAX --> SUN -->
SUN ...   or  PC--> Gandalf SMUX --> terminal server DEC 100 --> VAX -->
SUN --> ... Kermit between the PC and the (very!) remote Sun works just
fine for text files (binary a bit dubious but not really necessary)
HOWEVER, we use DNI between the VMS VAX and the Sun, and rlogin to
get to other Suns without DNI. Try rlogin instead of telnet ??.

Sorry, the return path is so tortuous I have to post it to the net.
