Wanted: Xerox Star-VAX Communication

[mario at utcsstat.UUCP]

A group at the University of Toronto has proposed using a Xerox Star
in combination with a VAX/Unix system for an upcoming project.
Communications between the two systems will be vital.  The Star supports
Ethernet as part of the XNS (Xerox Network Standard (?)) but it does not
appear that it will be possible to write applications programs for the
Star.  Does anyone have experience with uucp-XNS communications or
uucp using Ethernet?  Is there a better way to make these machines
talk to each other?
Please reply by mail to ...!decvax!utzoo!utcsstat!mario.
Thanks in advance,
