[mod.computers.vax] VAX <_> IBM connect

EVERHART%ARISIA@rca.com.UUCP (02/23/87)

We have an IBM mainframe on our DECnet connected via an Interlink connection.
That's a PDP11 based box that sits on an IBM channel and talks to IBM resident
software that speaks DAP. So the IBM basically functions as a normal
dECNET node with however some weird file naming conventions and much
cruddier security than VMS boxes. It works well. They usually exhibit at
DEXPO...
