[net.dcom] WANTED: help with IMP Very Distant Host Interface

howellg@idec.UUCP (Gareth Howell) (09/02/85)

I am looking for anybody who has implemented the Very Distant Host
interface to an IMP on ARPANET.
Is there any public domain software that supports this?
Any info/tips/warnings would be gratefully accepted.
	thanks

You don't want to do this.  Where are you getting a VDH IMP anyway?
Everybody has pretty much dropped this as being too cumbersome and
none of the current BBN IMP software supports the interface.  Every
thing else has either been cut over to HDH or is using local or distant
host on ECUs.  The new X.25 hac is another solution.
