Our network was recently hit by lightning. All DEC transceivers were fried,
and a DEC repeater died. All Cabletron equipment was A-OK!

We like VersaTermPRO (Synergy Software) for telnet and ftp. It's compatible 
with BD Consort VAX. I think they offer just tcp/ip connectivity in a 
product called Versatilities. We've also used Fetch 2.1.1 from Dartmouth
(anonymous ftp to dartvax.dartmouth.edu). Fetch is free for use by 
educational institutions. Also, NCSA Telnet, again available over the 
internet by anonymous ftp. For Synergy, our favorite software vendors is 
MacWarehouse (1-800-255-6227). Maybe Alice Givan has some more suggestions?

- From Network Research's FUSION for VAX/VMS manual (FACSnet for VMS):
  ...a value of 0 or 255 often has a reserved meaning.
I could not find a reference for a value of 128.
