If you think $850 is a lot of money, be glad you are not running VMS on
a VAX. Then you would have to pay Joiner Associates ~$20,000 for the
code to connect to BITNET. The $850 price is very reasonable
considering what you get for your money. Connection to BITNET,
interface to the UNIX mail software, file transfer, etc. All in all it
is cheap! You might also call IBM and ask what they charge for RSCS.
