Is anyone out there communicating between a VAX and a WANG VS?

We have an extensive network of VAXes, with ethernet, bridges and heaps
of terminal servers. We also have a network of Wang VS's used for
word processing; one VS85 and six VS5's. We have an SNA gateway from
our VAX network to an IBM, and a SNA link between the VS85 and the
same IBM.

We have a 2780/3780 9600bps synchronous link between a VAX 750 and the
VS 85. This link is slow and operator intensive (they need to impersonate
Ric Wakeman, with a hand on each keyboard).

We are looking for alternative connectivity strategies. One possibility is
a TCP/IP link, possibily even using ethernet.

Is anyone communicating between VAX and Wang VS?
