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.
Bill
