[comp.os.vms] sending mail to IBM 3033

WILLIAMS_B@svax05.pfizer-central-research.co.UK (08/19/87)

I read somewhere about a package that makes an IBM look like a DECNET node...
anybody know about this? Failing that, is there any knowledge about
sending mail to an IBM3033 (other than using coloured book software)

(anybody know why CBS isn't available in the states?)

Thanks

The product you seek is called Interlink.  This allows an IBM mainframe
to connect to DECnet.

IBM also sells some kind of TCP/IP for its mainframes, and there is also
available the IBM 7170  Device Attachmet Control Unit, which connects an
IBM mainframe channel to the DEC Unibus.  (This unit was demonstrated by IBM
at the Nashville DEXPO.  Yup, there in the IBM booth at DEXPO was a VAX-11/750.
With a little sign saying "IBM does not endorse use of this equipment.")
