DECnet vs TCP/IP?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Mr. Wizard,
 
Me: Hobbyist
 
My MicroVAX II has DECnet installed.  I'd like to be able to do file transfers
 to/from a Windows98 PC.
 
Windows networking speaks TCP/IP.  I presume that DECnet speaks TCP/IP.  If
 this is so, is it possible to get them to talk to each other without having to
 install Pathworks, Samba, or some other software?
 
Thanks.

The Answer is :

 
  DECnet is quite different than TCP/IP.
 
  You would need a DECnet client for the remote system, if you wish
  to use DECnet file transfer protocols.
