I did something similar, actually reading the VAX program's output 
mailbox using DCL reads and it works fine. I even did this as a proof of 
concept to the customer engineer who wants this done.

DCL knows how to talk to a mailbox over a network. I don't. How can I 
figure out exactly how DCL does it? Extremely frustrating.
