A VMS port of PINE, such as Yehavi's.

Now you have me confused.  You start off wanting to use the VT terminal
on a VAX to connect to your Internet service, and now at the end you
seem to want to use [something unspecified - your Internet service?] to 
connect to your VAX system's mailbox.

I'm reluctant to try to describe a solution, when it's not yet
clear to me what your question is.

But feel free to take a look at my notes at

http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/%7Eflavell/vms-pine.html

and if I spot a clarification or further questions I'll try to
answer them.  It's the least I can do, seeing that we're taking
advantage of Yehavi's generosity in making this VMS port available.
