Did I misunderstand the question?  As I interpreted it the feature desired 
is a multiuser communication facility the will work under VMS and over
DECnet if desired.  Since I have not used the ITS Link facility I am
unsure of what features it offers that DEC's standard PHONE utility doesn't.
The only feature that I can recall hearing of the PHONE claims not 
to offer is the ability to record a communication dirrectly from the PHONE
program.  (Well, the execute a command interface is a little awkward
since it must use ^Y; SPAWN; and ATTACH.  This also means that a user
can not execute a command on someone elses terminal ala TOPS-20 which is too
bad but not a critical flaw since unrestricted access to the facility would
be a major security risk.)
