There is a new version of Sun DNA (Sun DECnet) coming out very shortly which has built-in support for additional network objects (servers) and additional support for network tasks. For example, we're supposed to get FAL (the file access listener). The new version supports file transfer originating on the VMS side, and, more generally, remote file access from either side, I'm told. I'd call the Sun support hotline and ask them for more information on the new release. Ed
