Who, me? I'm still waiting for a NeXT clone! rewing@Apple.COM (Richard Ewing) (12/10/89)
Try TSSnet from Thursby Software. It's very good and is what we usually demonstrate to people in our office. It over DECnet mail, terminal emulation via your favorite terminal program, file transfer, and the ability to program to the TSSnet driver for your own purposes. Its distributed by Alisa Systems in Pasedena, CA. Their number is 818-792-9474. TYhere is also a competing product called Community-Mac, but I don't know much about it. -- __________________________________________________________________________ |Disclaimer: Segmentation Fault: Core Dumped. | | | |Internet: REWING@APPLE.COM-----------------------Rick Ewing | |ApplelinkPE & MacNet Soon!------------------Apple Computer, Inc. | |Applelink: EWING--------------------100 Ashford Center North, Suite 100 | |Compu$erve: [76474,1732]--------------------Atlanta, GA 30338 | |GENIE: R.EWING1--------------------------TalkNet: (404) 393-9358 | |USENET: {amdahl,decwrl,sun,unisoft}!apple!rewing | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

CommUnity-Mac by Technology Concepts Inc. and TSSnet by Thursby Software Systems. They both provide VMSmail, virtual terminal, remote file access, network management capability, and transparent file access. I won't give you a review (I'm biased... see .sig) but I can tell you that both products have been reviewed in several publications, the most recent for CommUnity being Digital Review, August 28, 1989. For more info on CommUnity-Mac you can contact: Everex Systems, Inc. 48431 Milmont Ave. Fremont, CA 94538 (415)498-1111 x.4505 (800)821-0806 x.4505 or if you have specific questions, you can send me mail. /Matt
