hi and help...

Is anyone out there using the XNS-Protocol suite that comes with 4.2+3 ??
We are using some weird Machines in our firm that only speak XNS (XEROX).
Now we want to do document exchange from these machines and the only
way to do this is to use a VMS-VAX :-(.
Because of the 64-char-filename-limitation you have to manually rename
each file during transfer. ( we have to transfer 3000+ files....)

Anyone got ns running ??

Ciao,
 ruediger
