Some customers of ours would like to use Oracle distributed DBMS with
their vaxes/pcs and our Networking stuff. What is required for Oracle
to function in a networked environenment that is not all DEC. We
support TCP and NETBIOS, is that enough or am I missing something. I
think that Oracle/Netherlands is on the net. If someone there can
send me email I would like to answer this question.
Thanks

If someone there can >send me email I would like to answer this question. 1) Oracle SQL*Net TCP/IP supports VAX/VMS, PC/MS-DOS, IBM VM, IBM MVS, DG AOS/VS, Macintosh, Xenix, and most of the available UNIX implementations. Like all Oracle products, it is designed to work in a heterogenous environment (any machine can talk to any machine.) On VMS you can use Excelan or Wollongong TCP/IP. On MS-DOS you can use Excelan Workplace, Micom Workstation or Micom Gateway, or FTP. No PC/2 (Microchannel) cards are currently supported, but I'm working on certifying the Ungermann-Bass PC-NIU card as we speak. 2) I don't know if Oracle/Netherlands is on the net, but Oracle/Belmont (Corporate Headquarters) certainly is!

When using Oracle with FTP's PC/TCP, you can use any MCA card we support. At the moment, this includes the 3Com 3C523, the InterLAN NI9210, the Western Digital WD8003/A, the Proteon P1800 and the IBM Token Ring Adapter for the Microchannel. Two or three more are in the works. James VanBokkelen FTP Software Inc.
