	If you have an ULTRIX V3.0 system and DECnet-ULTRIX V3.0
	then install the unsupported subset (DNUBASE030 for
	the VAX, DNPBASE030 on the DECstation 3100) then take
	a look in /usr/examples/decnet/gatethru.  The README
	file in that directory gives such a DECnet<->TCP/IP
	X11 gateway as an example using the supplied gatewayd.c
	program in the same directory.  Sorry it isn't supported
	(I wrote it as an example) but it is bundled free :-).

	The DECnet-Internet gateway which is part of DECnet-ULTRIX
	(since V2.0) does have a supported file transfer, remote login,
	and mail gateway between DECnet and Internet.

	Hope it helps!  -jeff
