Have a need to have a VAX/VMS talk to a 4.2BSD Unix (Sun workstation). We need the communication to be over a high speed communication line in a network environment. Best would be TCP/IP on Ethernet, but could live with DECNET protocol's on Ethernet. Does anyone in net-land have any suggestions on sources for software to do the above? thanks, tom campbell ARPA: ltn@usc-ecla -------

From: Ron Natalie <ron@brl-vgr> COMPION does a rather nice TCP-IP implementation for VMS. Cost is around $15,000 however. Seems like the best way to go to me. -Ron

At XEROX there is a package which runs under VMS which talks to either a 3Mb (XEROX PARC controller) or 10Mb (Interlan) controller talking either PUP or XNS protocols... It is being sold to the outside world now, although I do not know all the details. Contact BKorbholz.ES@PARC-MAXC Under UNIX there is 3Mb stuff that runs on 4.1 and is not yet (that I know of) up under 4.2. ACC sells a package for XNS, although I do not know the details, nor do I know of anyone who uses it with XEROX's VMS implementation. It is being sold to the outside world now, although I do not know all the details. Also, I believe that ACC will sell you a complete package with both the VMS and UNIX end. They like to sell their hardware; I do not know if they support any other. This package runs XNS over 10Mb ether. --Ray Clark Xerox, Webster NY
