Has anybody a solution to automate a scheduled daily file transfer between a VAX box running VMS, DECNET and LAT to a UNIX box running TCP/IP and LAT.

- Use an intermediate machine like a PC with both Decnet and TCP/IP
- Install an IP stack on the VAX. If you don't want to pay for it, than use the free CMUTEK stack. Old, not really good, but good enough for the job.
- Using Kermit with the LAT protocol may work. Although LAT is not meant for transferring files, it is possible when you use a small buffer size. But if it doesn't work, then don't ask me for help.
- Use E-mail with the file as attachment.
