In addition to other methods mentioned, I would add the following
possibilities to moving files from VMS->UNIX->VMS:

1.  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...
