[mod.computers.vax] VAXEN to IBM link

CAIRNS@UPEI.BITNET.UUCP (02/16/87)

Greetings,
 
Currently we have a pair of Vaxen (VMS) connected with Decnet over an
ethernet/delni link.  We are going to be adding a IBM 9370 VM/CMS machine to
our centre and wish to be able to exchange files and mail between systems.
 
What options do we have make this connection?  Does anyone have any comments or
suggestions on how we should go about this?  Are there any products that would
allow the IBM system to connect to the ethernet?  Act like a decnet node?  What
kind of costs (software and hardware) are we looking at?
 
      Any and all help would be appreciated ...
                                                         Dave Cairns
