In November, the following was posted to comp.sys.amiga. | In article <1938@killer.UUCP> jdp@killer.UUCP (Jim Pritchett) writes: | > | >Hello, does anyone out there have any information on current (or RSN) product | >to connect the A2000 to DECNET?

This provides DECnet End-node support, along with virtual terminal | VMS Mail, network file transfer and remote file access. TSSnet on the Mac | is being marketed by Alisa Systems. It has not yet been determined how | the Amiga product will be marketed - discussions are underway with | Thursby Software Systems, the developers of TSSnet. Also not clear | is what the demand for an Amiga version will be - feel free to send | me email if you have opinions on this. The Amiga version will have | asynch DDCMP support, and discussions have started with Ameristar | to get information to allow support for their Ethernet board. | | Ameristar's phone number is (516) 698-0834 , by the way. | | Bob Tolly rtolly@CCA.CCA.COM.UUCP Also Ronald G. Minnich <rminnich@edu.udel.louie> posted the binaries for amigatcp to comp.sys.amiga which uses SLIP (serial line ip) on the amiga serial port to talk to unix SLIP. Haven't used any of this stuff, but am planning to investigate further. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeremy Maris Experimental Psychology, | JANET : jeremym@uk.ac.sussex.epvax University of Sussex, | EAN : jeremym%sussex.epvax @ EAN-RELAY.AC.UK Falmer, | EARN/BITNET : jeremym@epvax.sussex.ac.uk Brighton, | ARPA : jeremym@epvax.sussex.ac.uk *OR* E.Sussex BN1 9QY | ARPA : jeremym%sussex.epvax@ukacrl.bitnet UK | usenet : ...mcvax!ukc!epvax!jeremym Tel: +44 (0)273 678060
