[mod.computers.vax] VAX-PBX options

phil@decwrl.DEC.COM@amdcad.UUCP (03/12/87)

Someone asked about ways of connecting VAX ports to (I assume) digital
PBX ports and mentioned CPI and DMF. Actually, the second one is
called DMI, not DMF. Unfortunately, I don't know of any DMI compatible
interfaces for VAXen. You might consider running a data PBX
separately, as many people do. Equinox, for example, makes a very nice
data PBX with cards that slide into a Unibus and give you lots of
ports with little wiring. Most people I have talked to see little
advantage in running voice and data over the same PBX.
