Thomas Ferrin (ucsfcgl!tef) at Univ. of California, San Francisco has written a paper entitled "A Recipe for Establishing Point-to-Point TCP/IP Network Links with 4.2 BSD Unix". In the paper he describes the procedures necessary for establishing a point-to-point network link. Tom points out the necessary hardware, software, and costs of establishing either a 9600 baud or 56 K baud dedicated link. A working network link between UCSF and UCB was used as a model. ACC participated by supplying the Host Interface (the ACP 6100) at the UCSF site. Gary Krall/ACC ------

I too have a similar need. I am looking for a TCP/IP program to connect two vaxes running VMS. One of the VAXes is running V3.7, the other runs V4.2. The software broke when JPL-VLSI went to V4.1. At that time, host JPL-ROBOTICS was forced off the ARPAnet. I will check with the references already listed in responses to the UNIX query, but if anyone knows of a program that will run under both versions of VMS (or at least V4.x), I would appreciate the pointers. Thanks in advance, Ron Tencati JPL-VLSI.ARPA

Correction: ACC has a board capable of supporting T1 data rates which is supported on a VAX system running 4.2. UCSF is in the process of purchasing a board from ACC in their point-to-point link mentioned earlier. Gary Krall ------
