A client needs to connect a NeXTstation to her MicroVAX 3900 running VMS to use
the NeXTstation as a MicroVAX terminal.  It's connected to a DECserver terminal
server via DECnet and (over?) ethernet.  Terminal is a VT100 emulator, so it
seems that it would generate escape sequences familiar to the MicroVAX.

Seems like several approaches are possible:

   1.  Connect the NeXTstation to the DECserver via a serial line.  If this is
       possible, how does one direct Terminal to connect to that serial port?
       Is any additional harware or software required on either end (other than
       a serial cable :-)

   2.  Make the NeXTstation an ethernet node and use telnet or rlogin to
       establish a MicroVAX login session.  In my distant foggy past, I seem to
       recall using telnet to login to a VAX, so I assume that telnet and
       possible the "r" utilities (rlogin, rsh, rcp, etc.) are available for a
       MicroVAX.  What additional hardware/software would be required?

   3.  (Fill in your favorite suggestion here.)

Thanks for your help.
