I agree - ACCESS sucks the big one.  Also, it's been "let's see who we
can palm this program off on this week" for the last three years.  First
it belonged to Compion.  When Gould bought them, they transferred ACCESS
to Flexcomm.  Then Gould Software (nee Compion) decided they wanted ACCESS
back last summer.  Now Gould just sold ACCESS to Internet...sigh.

I just ran across what looks like the most reasonably priced TCP/IP
for VMS - Network Research Corp.'s Fusion.  Fusion comes in either XNS
or TCP/IP flavors, and their documentation looks "real good".  If I had
to do it over again, I would probably go for Fusion (assuming I could
get a good demo of the software actually running on my hardware).
