I am looking for information on how to access TCP-IP directly at the 'virtual circuit' level on the Apollo. Our Apollo computers are linked to our IBM mainframe computers through ethernet with TCP-IP, and we want to set up a two way communications channel with TCP-IP between them. The purpose of this connection is to run a SPICE circuit simulation server remotely on the IBM mainframe, and to display the results locally on the Apollo using Mentor Graphics MSPICE program. Mentor has supplied documentation as to how to modify SPICE to act as a server on the mainframe, and we have information on how to access TCP-IP from the IBM side. What we are lacking is information on how to access TCP-IP from the apollo. I have been trying to obtain this information from our local field service offices from both Apollo and Mentor, with no success to date. I would appreciate any information on this topic, either of a technical nature, or of who to contact to obtain this information. Bronis Vidugiris !igloo!bhv@ddsw1
