The TSM is a layered product, which costs more $$$. But is highly
recommended if you have a large number of DECServers to support.

NCP still works to access a DECServer. The following is a DCL procedure to 
access a terminal server from the different flavors of VMS systems in-house:

  $ type ds100b.com
  $ if f$getsyi("node_hwtype") .eqs. "4090" then -
    mcr ncp connect via ISA-0 physical address 08-00-2b-03-db-26
  $ if f$getsyi("node_hwtype") .eqs. "3600" then -
    mcr ncp connect via QNA-0 physical address 08-00-2b-03-db-26
  $ if f$getsyi("node_hwtype") .eqs. "3100" then -
    mcr ncp connect via SVA-0 physical address 08-00-2b-03-db-26
  $ if f$getsyi("node_hwtype") .eqs. "ALPH" then -
    mcr ncp connect via SVA-0 physical address 08-00-2b-03-db-26
  $ exit

  $ @ds100b
  Console connected (press CTRL/D when finished)
  #
  DECserver 100 Terminal Server V2.0 (BL23B  ) - LAT V5.1

There's a public domain package for accessing DECServers from OpenVMS VAX
available from ftp.wku.edu:
