If you want to talk to anything J besides DECpaq hardware, you have to speak TCP/IP (or buy custom software=  J for the other end; e.g. Pathworks or a 3rd party implementation of DECnet= .)  H         DECnet IV/V still integrates better with VMS and provides usefulE features like passing the username initiating the connection but it's $ DECpaq only and likely to always be.  + Message text written by "David J.
