We are obligated to put two MicroVaxes running MicroVMS with Decnet onto an ethernet segment with several Masscomps (running RTU (a SYSV variant)) and TCP/IP protocol. I would like to hear from anyone with hands on (fingers?) experience (positive and/or negative.) Beyond having the two protocols running on the same segment, we need (would like to ) (will probably be shot if we can't) have a moderate level of transparency between the two operating systems. We have in-house experience with Eunice on a -780 in out SUN/MASSCOMP net and do not see that as suitable. How about the recent software that Wollongong is making such pretty adds about? Anyone have real experience? Please reply via mail to: USNET: ....!philabs!lamont!dale PHONE: (914) 359-2900 ext 434 -- are we having fun yet?.... [My recommendation is to get a translator. Sun apparently can do this. A MicroVax running Ultrix can certainly do this. Alternately, you can put TCP on the Vaxen... I hear that DEC can do this now... - sob]
