Do any of the ultrix networking protocols (tcp/ip, decnet, lat etc.) work with any of the unibus to ethernet cards *other* than digital's deuna? I assume tcp/ip would in all cases once the right device driver, hopefully supplied by the vendor, was installed. I also assume that decnet would not work and am unsure about lat. Can anyone answer this question with regard to the products of 3Com, Interlan, Excelan etc? Thanks. I'm looking for a controller which draws less than the deuna's 15 amps at +5V. I've heard that there is a new deuna which will use something like 8 amps (but the Excelan card only draws 5.5 amps). But it was still just a rumor at DECUS.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Digital announce the DELUA at DECUS
which effectively obsoletes the DEUNA?

I did however check with the networks booth where they had all the new fancy stuff on display and did not see a delua AND I was told there by a Digital representative that the delua had not been announced. But I've since received a message from the group which developed the delua which said it is an announced product. I'ld check in with the local dec office and ask them to confirm it, if I were you. At 8 amps, I still can't fit it into my 750s. George Boyce, Cornell Computer Services, george@cornell
