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.
