145.0. "Remote PC functionality question" by PLACEK::PARLINSKI (Jaroslaw PARLINSKI @RPW) Tue Mar 04 1997 03:03

Hi, 
Before answering my customer I want to be sure about the correct answer.

Remote Windows 95 PC connected by telephone line to NT 4.0 RAS port 
(Digiboard). 
There is also VMS machine (no TCP/IP) in the LAN near the NT RAS server.
The customer needs to open VT320 or NFT session from the remote PC to VMS.

I am not sure if PATHWORKS 32 installed on remote PC and on NT RAS server 
meets his requirements ? 
Does NT server can acts as DECnet gateway between dial-up and Ethernet ?
With PPP option or DDCMP ?

Regards,

Nope. The NT server cannot act as a "DECnet gateway". You'd need to 
dial in a DECnet router or a VAX with DDCMP.
The simplest solution would most likely be to install TCP/IP on the 
VMS system though.
