/David Robinson elroy!david@csvax.caltech.edu ARPA / /Rumors about VMS 5.0 that I have heard is that DEC will support /TCP/IP. Bundled or unbundled I don't know but I also heard /that it is an in-house implimentation as opposed to a Wollengong /or other third party version. / /Fact or Fiction? I asked sales. They answered in writing. Translated into English the reply is: "VMS version 5.x will offer no TCP/IP support" I suppose this means Digital will support TCP/IP as a layered product or as a separate server-like solution, since I do indeed understand they are working on it. A layered product would make sense given their new policy no longer to introduce new facilities in products you pay maintenance for.
