Hi,
  I have some pending questions that I am sure other people have, so here
goes...

1) VMS to UUCP:
   I asked about this a month or so ago, and have gotten alot of response, and
even more confusion.  Some of the things people mentioned were PMDF, a mail
only interface to UUCP.  There was another package which also did mail only,
no full implimentation of a VMS UUCP node package tho.

2) TCP/IP on VMS:
    I know of the two commercial packages for VMS TCP.  Each is around $4,500
I believe.  Thats a bit steep for us here tho.  Someone mentioned CMU-TCP
enhancements to the TEKTRONIX TCP.  It requires an AT&T Unix license, as well
as a TEK license.  We have a UNIX license, where and for how much is the TEK
TCP license <for an accademic institution>?

3) LOGINOUT.EXE
     DEC charges something like $2,250 to upgrade a UvaxII from 1 user to
8 users.  The thing that controls user limits is hooked to LOGINOUT.EXE.
Is there any law, or DEC agreement customers have which would forbid a customer
from changing the LOGINOUT code to bypass the user limit, or to rewirte
LOGINOUT completely, or something similar?

4) EMACS
     Finally got it up and running here.

Thats all the questions that have been queued up the past few weeks....

/Steve
