Are there any other TANDEM users out there on the net? If so, are you
interested in getting some discussion of these systems going here?
[Yes, I really do mean TANDEM -- and NOT Tandy. We're talking
Tandem minis here.]
FYI, our (Perkins Library, Duke University) principal application
is the on-line catalog for the Duke University Libraries. Later
the system will have other library management applications, such
as circulation.
We are part of a three-university consortium, the Triangle
Research Libraries Network (TRLN), which, in addition to Duke,
also includes North Carolina State University in Raleigh and the
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
The other two campuses also have Tandems, linked via expand lines,
and the TRLN staff in Chapel Hill have a fourth Tandem used for
development work. At Duke we have a system with two TXP
processors serving 51 end-user terminals and 9 dial-in ports.

Thank god, I thought I was lived on an island, isolated from the world.
I have always been envious of all the unix programmers conversing with each
other. We at Pacific Bell have 6 Nodes (??) and growing. I have lots of
questions about Tandem that aren't important enough for Tandem Corp. to be
concerned with. I would be curious to know how many other Tandem users access
Usenet. If we could get the usenet software ported over to Tandem that would
be great!
