Nixdorf Targon M35/50 w/TOS 3.3.03 Pyramid 9810 w/OSx 4.4? We have a group of Unix boxes which speak XNS over Ethernet. Ideally, I'd like to connect them to my Pyramid 9810 Ethernet port and do file transfers and remote logins. What support exists on the Pyramid for XNS? I know that SOMETHING is/was out there because of `fgrep XNS /usr/sys/conf/param.c` and /usr/.ucbinclude/pie/pie.h. What support is there (via Ethernet) for talking to boxes which speak DECnet? Again: `fgrep DECnet /etc/makesys /usr/sys/conf/conf.c` (File transfers, bi-directional remote logins). We will shortly be running Ethernet TCP/IP between the Pyramid and another computer. Could TCP/IP, XNS, and DECnet all be run on the Pyramid at the same time? car. -- Christopher A.

Those are from an outdated interface to a Britton-Lee database engine that used an XNS-derived network. It wasn't real XNS. Pyramid has no XNS support. Third parties may have done XNS; I'm almost positive there is third-party DECNet. Check the PRISM catalog. <csg>

DECnet support for the Pyramid is available from Control Data on a number of non-DEC UNIX platforms. Contact people at CDC in Dayton, Ohio e-mail to rbarker@wrtfac.cdc.com or mccool@wrtfac.cdc.com for more information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eugene D.
