From: Ed Fox <fox%vpi.csnet@CSNET-RELAY.ARPA> Does anyone know if it is possible, and if so how, to attach a VAX 11/780 running ULTRIX to the new AT&T Information Systems Network packet controller through KMC front end via fiber? They have hardware to do it into System V and I believe AT&T Technologies has software to go along, but wonder if their URP can work with our TCP/IP or come in through special driver. I know that they have not announced such a product but wonder if it might be possible for us to develop here or get from elsewhere. We eventually will have LAN with several machines, including VAXen running VMS and ULTRIX and some machine running System V, and if we can use KMC instead of DH on ULTRIX machine would then be interested in using ISN for the LAN. Does anyone have other comments about the new ISN? Thank you for your assistance! Please reply directly to fox.vpi@csnet-relay.arpa.
