In our hospital we are using Digital Vax 11/780 with an odd operating system with hardly any communication possibilities. So we are interested in any portable communication package. It is said that there exist such a packet written in C. A Canadian vendor should sell such a program. We don't know a name or address If anyone knows anything we are glad to hear from you. Thanks in advance ***************************Jan Hellings*********************************** * University of Amsterdam Phone: (+31) 20 5662055 * * Faculty of medecine/AMC/D01-412 bitnet: hellings%amccca.surfnet@ * * Meibergdreef 9 hasara5.bitnet * * 1105 AZ Amsterdam uucp : janhe@htsa.uucp * * Holland surfnet: amccca::hellings * **************************************************************************

It also depends on what your operating system supports, do you need remote tty drivers (hairy and very OS dependent) or just a shell to transfer mail and files? > It is said that there exist such a packet written in C. For straight communications (if your OS can support a async terminal login at all) might be C-kermit, available from Columbia University. > A Canadian vendor should sell such a program.

However, the target language is Turbo C, which is not exactly known for running on Vaxen. To give suggestions, I think the exact operating systems needs to be known.
