[fa.info-mac] Connecting Macs to Timesharing Systems

From: Terry Domae <domae@UCLA-LOCUS.ARPA>

I was wondering if anyone has any better way (other than RS232/9600 Baud,
or MACplexers) to connect MAC's to VAXen?  

I've looked into RS422 Boards, hoping to connect some up via a 1Megabit 
sync. line; but I have only come across the DEC Board (DMR11-EP).  Is there 
anybody using RS422 boards at 1Megabit?  The problem is that most of the 
RS422 boards do not have an internal clock and assume that you are going to 
connect to a modem (which will provide the clock signal.  

Any alternate connection configurations or information on RS422 boards 
would be great!
