I have used the DS3100 in  exactly the manner you suggest and it works
fine. I run both Internet and DECnet on my DS3100 and can talk to both
VMS and other UNIX nodes and run X applications, DECwindow applications,
etc. I have even noticed that at times some applications seem to run
faster using DECnet than Internet(on your workstation you can say,
"setenv DISPLAY machine:0" or "setenv DISPLAY machine::0" among other
things. Besides, once you get a DS3100 on your desk you'll probably
want to start compiling and running some applications locally since it
is a blazing fast machine.....
