Is it possible to use both TCP/IP and DECnet over the same network
hardware with VMS? Once I get this machine connected via the terminal
server to another machine, I'll grab a copy of CMUIP and GCC.

It appears, at first glance anyway - when my VT320 terminal isn't
trying to quit working, that I don't have the software installed which
is needed for the DECserver 200.
Regarding the VT-320, the screen gets real bright, dims, gets bright,
etc., and then, this afternoon, there was the smell of burning plastic
coming from the monitor. It looks as though it's time to take this
terminal apart for repairs. Has anyone here had experience with this
type of problem with one of these terminals? It appears to be
intermittent.

This is a VAX-4000/200 with two DSSI disks; alas, no SCSI.
