I am looking for advice, suggestions, etc. on how to implement the following: I have a C program which is sitting on a VAX that runs VMS. The program expects a user to sit by 2 terminals, one of which is actually a SUN workstation, and the other is a Tektronix graphics terminal. The user logs onto the VAX via the Tektronix terminal and starts up the program. While the user is working merrily away on the one terminal, my code will occasionally send a character array over a network to the SUN (which is running UNIX). The SUN receives this array which contains the name of an image file stored on that SUN. The SUN displays that image on its screen. This process keeps repeating with the VAX sending arrays and the SUN displaying the corresponding images (a client-server situation). ** END OF "I-DON'T-THINK-IT'S-AS-EASY-AS-IT-SOUNDS" SITUATION ** I have never done any network programming before, so I would love to hear from people who have written code using sockets, which is what I believe is needed for this situation. We have Wollongong's flavor of TCP/IP on the VAX. I don't normally read this newsgroup, so please send replies directly to me (chapman@lll-lcc.arpa, or if .arpa is no longer working then it's chapman@lll-lcc.llnl.gov). Thank you!! carol chapman

Hi, you all. I have Novell ELS Level II running on 386/33 clone with 4M. There are 8 users in one building. But I have to separate 3 in one building and5 in another bldg separated approx. 150 yds. Basic requirement is that all 8 stations are on line. Use of dedicated datalineis possible. Least sacrifice of speed. Could any body suggest me the cost-effective solution? Thanns, in advance. Please email me. I will summarize. -- >>>>> Insik Kim InterNet : iskim@crcc.uh.edu >>>>> Cannata Research Computation Center crcc7@jane.uh.edu >>>>> University of Houston, University Park crcc7@menudo.uh.edu >>>>> Houston, TX 77004
