+ I was wondering what files I would need to access relay from my VAX VMS
+ account?  Is their an equivalent to the XYZZY file for VAX?  And if I set
+ up a names file on my VAX account would it run the same as the IBM?

There is a XYZZY-equivalent for VAX/VMS. You can get it with
anonymous ftp from: acfcluster.nyu.edu
On this host you find the sources, an executable file, a XYZZY-
reference card and helpfiles for this XYZZY.
The VAX-XYZZY looks the same as the VM-XYZZY. You can even
transfer your namesfile from VM to VAX and use it there with
a few (or no) modifications. Hope this helps :)
