If it's DECnet for Windows 95/98/NT, I assume it costs "big money"?
Probably more than scrounging up a *VAX* with freely available
software? Anybody have pointers to DECnet for Windows 95/98/NT?
Thanks,
Dave

Apparently, there is a Linux DECnet, but Zane has been having trouble getting
it to work. Another possibility is a VAXstation that talks both DECnet and
TCP/IP.
There are DECnets for Mac and PC, of course, although I don't know
how you're going to do any actual routing as opposed to simple
file parking. Once upon a time, my company even made a DECnet for
the Amiga, a licensed port of the Thursby code. (I wrote the
DECnet mail for the Amiga.) My DEC Pro 350 was once able to talk
to my Amiga this way, but my knowledge of this has been fogged by time.
