I'm working on upgrading a site that currently runs VMS on its Vaxen to running 4.3 (at least most of the time), and the issue of communications has come up. Presently, there is nothing, so the slate is clean. I'm thinking of getting some of the Interlan (MICOM) smart ethernet controllers, and running their VMS TCP/IP package on one machine, with 4.3 on the others. Has anyone else come up against the problem of needing hardware that is both VMS and UNIX compatable, (so that either machine can be used for either system), and found a better (more cost effective) solution? The Interlan folks claim to have FTP and TELNET implemented under VMS, I have also checked out Wollongong, any others out there I've missed? Were not Government or educational, so I don't think the Tektronix code is available. -JCP-

For VMS, also consider the Excelan board in smart mode, and maybe the CMC people have a VMS offering too? -M
