I'm a Hobbyist and I finally found some memory for my PWS500 (768M)
and I'm short on storage.

Are there any network block device clients for VMS 8.3 that can be
served from Linux?  I've only got a 2G 68-pin scsi device internally
so I'm pretty pressed for space.

I've looked at:
iSCSI - no VMS side
ATA over Ethernet - no VMS side
Network Block Device (Linux) - no VMS side
Eduardo's Poorman's Disk - VAX/VMS only
DECdfs - no Linux side (if it worked over IP i might be able to cobble
together the linux side)

Does any one have any solutions?

Being poor means no new hardware :(  If only that box with the ram had
disk drives in it...
