We're investigating ways of making a particular Mac software package of
ours talk on various networks. We have a pretty good grasp of what we can
do with AppleTalk and TCP/IP, but our customers seem to want more.
In particular, a lot of them want to use DECNet protocols.
What's available for this? A DECNet driver that used the EtherTalk
board would be ideal, but we're interested in all solutions.
Please mail responses; I'll summarize if there's enough interest.
Thanks in advance.

It's available (I think) from Alisa Systems, at 1-818-792-9474 (in Pasadena, CA). Greg Minshall Novell, Inc. minshall@kinetics.com 1-415-975-4507

I believe it is actually a 'rebadged' TSSnet sold by DEC. ian -- Ian Hoyle /\/\ Image Processing & Data Analysis Group / / /\ BHP Melbourne Research Laboratories / / / \ 245 Wellington Rd, Mulgrave, 3170 / / / /\ \ AUSTRALIA \ \/ / / / \ / / / Phone : +61-3-560-7066 \/\/\/ FAX : +61-3-561-6709 E-mail : ianh@bhpmrl.oz.au

I believe it is actually a 'rebadged' TSSnet sold by DEC. I don't know about email, but MacX communicates with DECnet machines with ADSP (AppleTalk), not DECnet. So, it might not be TSSnet. ============================================================================= Steve Bollinger ____/| 909 Church St. Apt C \ o.O| Ann Arbor, Mi. 48104 =(_)= (313)-662-4073 -home (313)-763-3070 -work U billkatt@mondo.engin.umich.edu -ACK ACK ACK ACK!
