There may be no need to do this ... since when you dial-up a VMS 
system on a DECNET you can SET HOST to any other site on the DECNET, 
you can dial-in directly to the target site.  If the UUCP software is
up on both systems, no problem ! ... but if it's not ... now what ?
Is this system running Eunice ?

Even if you did get the VMS system to forward, how can you get it to
forward  *again*,  to a Unix site ?  This would allow use of our
DECnet's dedicated, high-speed, syncronous interstate lines.
