Ah, but we are currently actively looking into that. Two test machines
have been upgraded and we try all our working environment on them.
So far, no issues encountered with existing programs (even the 
netbackup
client, quite old stuff, seems to work fine) but lots of work to port
our scripts because IP DCL commands and outputs are quite different.

We have already one call opened regarding the mail protocol, which
has some features that worked with the original VMS stack, and that
are broken with the new one.

And we still have to investigate the TELNET API that we use a lot in
our environment, as we were told that it doesn't exist with the new
stack...
