: Do you have a DECstation 3100 or a VAXstation 3100 A poor choice of model
: numbers has resulted in a bit of confusion...
:
: If you have a DECstation, the only thing it can run is ULTRIX, so it has
: to be running ULTRIX. VMS will run on the VAXstation (as will ULTRIX).

While I did not ask the original question, I do have a similar problem.
We, unfortunately, are running VMS on VAXstation 3100 which I'm almost sure
uses DECNET for communications.  I am interested in starting an xterm to a
SUN workstation running Unix and TCP.  I have been told that I can either
get the SUN to understand DECNET or the VAXstation to understand TCP.  Can
anyone shed a little more light on this for me.  I am a relatively new
user, so please bear with me.  Thanks.
