At the DECUS symposium in November, DEC announced that VMS v5.3 would
have the necessary 'hooks' to allow VMS DECwindows to work over a
TCP/IP link.  Also, they said that whatever part of the DEC TCP/IP
product that was necessary to do this would be installable without
a license (I may be wrong about this last item).

Wollongong, Multinet and CMU (VMS TCP/IP software suppliers) are all
working on their tranport software for DECwindows.
