Ethernet. (TCP/IP --- there are several implementations floating around, some free) This is what I use. 2. DECnet. But you need to have ULTRIX... 3. UUCP. There is a VMS UUCP around for people with UNIX licenses on the VMS machine. 4. A hardware link between your VAXen (we have a DMC-11 board in each VAX with a coax between the two and software to handle the file transfers. Gory but fast (1 megabit/second)) 5. DECShell. A totally software solution, but it does have a 'tar' that any UNIX wizard would love. I have used all of the above, and given my druthers, I'd use DECnet. (which I have only played with at DECUS). For cheap, you can't beat the frog... Gordon Howell (Misty Dragon E.) engvax!gordon@CIT-VAX.ARPA
