	Or in the interm, if you have a nearby ULTRIX system that's running
	DECnet, install the unsupported DECnet subset then take a look at
	at the README file in the /usr/examples/decnet/gatethru directory.
	The README file tells you how to use the example program in that
	directory as a transport level bridge between DECnet and TCP/IP for
	the purpose of an X11 gateway between VMS and Internet systems.

	This is V3.0 and later of DECnet-ULTRIX, though once you have a
	copy of the program/README it should work on pre-V3.0 DECnet-ULTRIX
	systems.
