I am interested in any experience that anyone has had trying to use DECNET
as the central protocol in a multi-vendor network, VAX's, Macintosh, DOS,
Sun's and Apollo's. How well (i.e., transparently) do the following work?

(1) remote login to remote sites

(2) remote login to wide-area TCP/IP networks

(3) file transfer between local sites

(4) file transfer (anonymous FTP) over wide-area networks

(5) local mail

(6) mail through wide-area networks, including uucp, bitnet, tcp/ip and
    csnet

(7) DECSERVER 500 connections to SUN's

(8) Wollagong or Fusion software

(9) SUNLINK DECNET software

What are your experiences with Appletalk networks on DECNET? Pacer software
or ALISA software?

Anything else you can think of positive or negative will be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
