[comp.sys.mac] Netowrking Question !?

farmer@ecs.umass.edu (THE MAD MUSKRAT) (05/02/90)

Hello out there!  I am looking for a competent Mac wiz to answer a somewhat 
complicated quetion.  Here it is:

 	I work in a MacLab with 25 SE's on an ethernet network, run by 2
 	Vax 2000 workstations.  What I need is a program that does for DecNet
 	what telnet does for TCP/IP protocol systems.  Does one exist?
 	Is it share/free ware?  Where can I get it (Sumex, simtel20, ...)?

Please reply to me, don't bother wasting net space & time.

Thanks,
Matt Farmer

DECNET: I use TSSNET being marketed by Alisa. Price about $800 academic. Needs 
Versaterm (Pro) or another terminal emulator as well. 
 
TCP/IP: I use Dec's UCX product (depending on processor, $8000 for a VAX8830) 
and use NCSA telnet for logging in on TCP/IP. 

At May 1st, Dec/Apple announced new products. Let's see whether Networking 
is getting cheaper ...
