There has been a reasonable amount of information on TCP-IP
flying back and forth on INFO-VAX in the past few months.
I am starting to suspect that this is a useful software
package for me.  Maybe someone (some several?) out there
have comments for me.

1)   What is TCP-IP?  Is it useful for linking up VMS systems
     (two 750's) and UNIX systems (NCR Tower)?  What are its
     capabilities?

2)   Is TCP-IP a good way to hook terminal servers to VMS or
     UNIX systems?  Some third-party PACX vendors are talking
     to me about using their switches instead of DEC's terminal
     servers.

3)   I gather that TCP-IP runs over ethernet co-ax.  If I already
     have my VAXen talking via DECnet/Ethernet using DEUNA's and
     a DELNI, can this setup co-exist with a TCP-IP function?
     (I am not sure the last question even makes sense.  I keep
     hearing mutterings that "Ethernet and 802.3 are two different
     things and can/cannot co-exist on the same co-ax/DELNI".
     Any comments?

Thanx in advance for any replies.  If I get a pile of useful
stuff, I will pare it down and re-broadcast to the network.
