I just received my copy of "The IBM Software Catalog for VM Systems" in the mail today. The following is an excerpt from this catalog. VM Interface Program for TCP/IP ------------------------------- Program Number: 5798-DRG Purpose: This program offering provieds the VM/SP user with the ability to participate in a network using the TCP/IP transmission protocol. This includes the ability to transfer files, send mail, and log on remotely to a VM host. The Program uses a System/370 channel, attached to a front-end Series/1 with EDX or RPS, or a Device Access Control Unit. Sample programs are provided for these system configuratuions to permit intrfaceing to local area networks including X.25, ProNET, or Ethernet. Manuals: Availability Notice, GB13-7712. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this product and what likes and dislikes they have with this product. I have not talked with my IBM salesman yet, so I don't have any other information (cost, availability, etc). If you mail any reques to me I will be glad to send you any additional information when I get it. If there is enough demand I will post a summary to the net. Thanks for any help.
