We are faced with the task providing a device driver for a ULTRIX VAX without access to source for ULTRIX. We have access to the .h files on Ultrix and we observe a striking similarity to BSD .h files. Before yeilding to our temptation to attempt a solution by simply compiling and installing the BSD driver under ULTRIX, we thought to ask for advice from the Wizards. The driver in question is for the DMC11(DMR11), it is a network interface driver employing SOCKETS and MBUFS. We are fishing for information concerning differences between BSD and ULTRIX with respect to such areas as network interface and UNIBUSS useage and the general problem of using BSD source as source for ULTRIX. Please respond to love@NADC.ARPA since I am not on WIZARDS. Thanks, Michael Love
