[comp.sys.apollo] Data xfer between APOLLOS

dave@jplopto.uucp (Dave Hayes) (03/23/89)

Do any of you net folks know of another way to transfer data between APOLLO's
other than the classic token ring or ETHERNET? I'd appreciate any information
that anyone has on this subject. Thanks in advance!

At sr10.1 Apollo supports IBM token ring (4 Mbit/sec version), get
interface boards from Apollo. Also you can use SLIP, serial line internet
protocol (tcp/ip over a RS232 serial port).

Then there are various RS232 communications programs: Kermit, XMODEM, etc.

Finally, sneaker net. Walk a floppy or ctape between machines.
