Use the free Mail-11 driver at somewhere in gatekeeper.dec.com (an 
official unsupported-but-very-good software archive of DEC Western 
Research Lab). Ask Paul Vixie <vixie@pa.dec.com> - he has been 
an expert of this problem.

DECnet-ULTRIX may work, but the free Mail-11 driver seems to be 
better.

>Is this possible?  (Does it make sense?)

Obviously possible - otherwise people in dec.com using VMS will 
not be able to communicate with the rest of the world :)
