	There has been a discussion about getting VMS and UNIX to talk
to each other.  I think I need a definition of some terms:

	Both VMS and UNIX support Ethernet.  DECNet/VMS sits on top of
Ethernet for VMS.  Is TCP/IP the upper level protocol for Unix Ethernets?
Or is TCP/IP a packet-switched long haul protocol (a la ARPANET?)  If
TCP/IP is a long-haul, what is the term for the upper level protocols
for a Unix Ethernet?

						Thanks,
