The ancient JNET software for VAX/VMS from now-defunct Wingra Software allows Digital Equipment Corporation DEC VAX servers running VAX/VMS operating system to interact in TCPNJE protocol prevalent in the IBM Mainframe world over DECnet and TCP/IP links. This allows hobbyists running DEC VAX computers to participate on two world-wide hobbyist networks - HECnet the DECnet network and HNET the Mainframe network.
