This probably won't work very well. The max you can really expect is
(usually) more about 9600 baud.

There's two separate network cards? Or does one card just have two
different connectors?

Since it's an added-cost item, you may or may not have it. You
almost certainly have DECnet, however. And you must have LAT --
which the terminal server probably uses.
If you load Linux on your system, you can get the free DECnet and LAT
packages at:
http://linux-decnet.sourceforge.net/
If you have an older version of Reflections (*not* freeware), it
might be able to speak DECnet or LAT, as well.

None of us live forever. Please contact me directly, and we might be
able to arrange something.

Info-ZIP can create ZIP files on the VAX that are completely
compatible with WinZIP. This only makes sense for text files,
however. Info-ZIP can be found on the Freeware disk off the main
OpenVMS web site (www.hp.com/go/openvms).
