Yes it's possible. A vs2000 with a RD54 and VMS 5.3->6.1 and CMU-IP. and
you have what you need. VS2000 is about the smallest vaxen made at around
.5cuft.
The alternate is a copy of ultrix with decnet but finding that may be
harder.
Routing is not an issue if they are both end nodes in the same DECNET area.
Generally this is something VAXen do well.
