There is a standalone package available for MS Windows 3.1, from the 
company that wrote the origional NetDDE code used in Windows For Workgroups.  
Cost is something like $250 per node, I think.  Contact  Wonderware Software 
Development Corporation, Irvine, California (714)727-3200.  

Supports NetBIOS networks.  There is a toolkit called NetDDE for VMS 
which is a software developers toolkit for writing applications under 
VMS connecting to the NetDDE running on a PC.

I've set up some systems running this packages, but don't know exactly 
how all the internals work.  I'm also running the WFW beta and have piddled
with that NetDDE interface.
