[HECnet] Multinet for VMS?

[Johnny Billquist]

I wasn't thinking that I'd run them in parallel. Doubt that would even 
work...

Now I just need to dig out my old Hobbyist License number and see if it 
is still valid. It goes back to when DEC and DECUS existed, and was 
through the various DECUS chapters back in the day... I haven't even 
touched it in quite a while (tells you how often I run VMS...)
