Has anyone out there successfully used VAX Encryption to encrypt
data, pass them to a unix node, and have the unix node (using DES
encryption) be able to decrypt the data?

I am not sure but it appears that VAX Encryption is actually using an 
encrypted form of the key to encrypt the data file.  The manual
is quite sparse on details.

Any help would be appreciated.
