We're just beginning to use pmdf & tcop ion Unix & VMS Vaxen.  Is
there  any way to run pmdf over tcp-ip instead of phone links? As
this is probably a simple query, please reply via email. Thanks.

PMDF and PhoneNet are often confused.
PhoneNet is a transport protocol (for mail) over asynchronous lines.
There are a couple of implementations of it under Unix, and one is
called (inappropriately) "PMDF".

The PMDF package under VMS is a "mailer", like sendmail and MMDF on Unix.
It includes support for several transport protocols, including PhoneNet,
DecNet, and SMTP/TCP/IP.

So PMDF on VMS supports TCP/IP, but the TCP/IP itself is a separate package.
