DEC markets a product, possibly called DECnet dos, which in conjunction with an ethernet interface will put your pc (yes, even an IBM one) up as a decnet node. Talk to your local sales office for information....

Contact your local Digital Equipment Corporation sales rep. The product is called DECnet-DOS. It requires version 3.x of MS-DOS. Supports asynchronous DECnet and DECnet-Ethernet. Does file transfer, network virtual terminal, mail (sending only) and a server program which will accept incoming connects and fire up the named task or object number requested by the client. You can also get more information on this (and other DEC products) by dialing into the DEC Electronic Store and calling up the Software Product Description. The electronic store accepts 300/1200/2400 baud from 7am to 12m. -- Norm Pritchett, The Ohio State University BITNET: TS1703 at OHSTVMA Bellnet: (614) 422-0885 UUCP: cbosgd!osu-eddie!pritch CSNET: pritch@ohio-state ARPANET: NPRITCHETT%osu-20@ohio-state (or) pritch@ohio-state

DEC has been selling DECnet-DOS for nearly two years now. It makes your PC/XT/AT (or TRUE compatible) a full Phase IV DECnet end (nonrouting) node. It supports DECnet access over an asynchronous line, or over Ethernet using controllers from 3Com or Excelan. I've used it heavily for over a year. It works. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc.
