Are you sure it's an Alpha ? An older VAX (MicroVAX I or 11/780) might 
have problems running more recent software but most properly configured 
VAXen can run anything you need to access the internet, including TCP/IP 
& Pine & NNTP

Pine runs on lots of VMS systems... ALpha & VAX...

There's a port to VMS from Innosoft (included with their PMDF package) 
that'll work iwithout an IMAP server on the same machine even.

& the above mentioned pd port...
