[comp.os.vms] VMS5.0, WIN/TCP 3.2 & CMU TCP 6.3 Query

GERLAND@UBVMSC.CC.BUFFALO.EDU ("Jim Gerland ", Postmaster) (07/27/88)

We have just found out that Wollongong's WIN/TCP Version 3.2 will not run
under VMS 5.0.  Can anyone verify this?

Does anyone know if CMU TCP/IP Version 6.3 will run under VMS 5.0?

Can anyone comment on the differences between CMU and WIN TCP/IP as far
as transfer speed etc.?

Please reply to me and I will summarize to the net.  Thanks,

That is true.

No, although some people seem to be working on it.  Some preliminary
patches have been posted to the cmu tcp/ip bboard.  It's 
cmu-tek-tcp@cs.cmu.edu.  Use cmu-tek-tcp-request@cs.cmu.edu to sign
up on it.

Tortise and hare.  CMU is ok for small systems (microvaxen), but if you're
going to be doing a lot of TCP/IP, it's worth the money to get WIN/TCP
or SRI's Multinet product.
