NOW that DEC has announced real Unix support, does anyone know the bounds to that support in terms of foreign hardware configurations, etc? Apparently (somehow it works out) you can use someone else's hardware under VMS (e.g., we use SI some controllers here). Is DEC going to provide the same kind of support (the real amount of which, I don't quite know). Also, in the same vein, is there some way to put a VAX running Unix on the DECNET that supports the same kind and speed of file transfers, etc. Finally (I ask lots of questions) does anyone out there in netland know how the gateway between DEC's internal net (which I presume runs over some kind of DECNET) and usenet (at decwrl) works? Is the software to do this available? -- Ken Shoemaker, Intel, Santa Clara, Ca. {pur-ee,hplabs,ucbvax!amd70,ogcvax!omsvax}!intelca!kds
