  DECnet to IP gateway? 
 The Question is:
 
We are migrating from VMS towards UNIX.
In addition to this migration we are also exhanging DECnet for TCP/IP.
 
During this migration there is a need to connect a old VAX system
(running VMS and DECnet) with a new system (running TCP/IP). This old VAX
system will become obsolete, so we don't have the intention to add TCP/IP
to this system, because then we have to upgrade VMS as well.
 
Our question is, is there a gateway solution for communication between DECnet
and TCP/IP?

 The Answer is:
 
  DECnet and IP are completely unrelated and seperate protocols.
 
  The gateway solution could certainly involve a system that has both
  DECnet and IP configured, or could involve installing an IP package
  on the existing OpenVMS system.
