Is there a software package that runs on VMS that will allow a unit using 3780 protocol to talk to VMS?

DEC sells one, it is not extremely robust. They seem to have realized that very few of us really WANT to talk such obsolete protocols as 2780/3780 and I doubt it has had any development in years. This product is so out-of-character for DEC that the Software Specialists in Co Springs freely give out the name and number of the last surviving Deccie who will admit to knowing anything about it..."Vinnie". He's back east somewhere and actually gave us quite a lot of help. Anyway, the dec product number for the book in front of me is AA-H473B-TE VAX 2780/3780 Protocol Emulator User's Guide and describes product Q*111-** if that helps you any. We use this beastly product on DUP11s talking to 4800-baud modems. Luck. Doug (dolson @ Ada20.isi.edu) -------
