Help! If you know of any vendors or public domain sources for
RSCS emulators for 4.2bsd Unix (specifically, Sun 3's), we would very
much like to hear from you. We know of only one and they're asking
$800. Is this a rip-off or is Bitnet connection just not a hot item
for Unix people? We need your expertise and experience and getting up
a Bitnet connection on Unix machines!
If anyone's interested, I'll summarize for the net.

Then you would have to pay Joiner Associates ~$20,000 for the code to connect to BITNET. The $850 price is very reasonable considering what you get for your money. Connection to BITNET, interface to the UNIX mail software, file transfer, etc. All in all it is cheap! You might also call IBM and ask what they charge for RSCS. > If anyone's interested, I'll summarize for the net. > > -a.g. hirai > desperate sysadmin >...
