[mod.protocols.tcp-ip] ACP6250 / ACP5250 on 4.3BSD

lars@ACC-SB-UNIX.ARPA.UUCP (01/27/87)

The ACP6250 (for UNIBUS VAXen) / ACP5250 (for MicroVAXen)
DDN interface has been available for some time for 4.2BSD
and ULTRIX 1.2. ACC is now almost ready with a 4.3BSD
driver. (Some customers have ported the 4.2BSD driver to
4.3BSD; some of those have had some problems).

We expect to be able to ship to Beta sites next week. If you
        (1) are currently running 4.3BSD
        (2) currently have an ACP6250 or ACP5250 board
        (3) want to participate in the field test round
- then please register your interest by sending email to
  "service@acc-sb-unix.arpa"

PS: The "DDN device driver" in the 4.3BSD distribution is not
    compatible with the ACP6250; it is a fossil from some early
    testing. The device that it does support is not sanctioned
    for "standard mode" connections on DDN.
    Also, the if_hdh.c driver in the 4.3BSD kit is out of date.
