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.)
