I have a couple of questions regarding the use of tcp/ip over x25 in
a dialup environment.
The environment is:
IBM RS/6000 320, Uninet SLAT, v.32 modems on one end and
IBM 3081 with 3745 on the other.
Questions:
Does anyone have any experience with a setup similiar to this?
How does x.25 in a point-to-point environment compare to SLIP?
How does x.25 and v.32 compare in performance to {slip,x.25,
other protocols} and trailblazers? Particularly in noisy environments.
Any other general comments?
Second question.
From this same RS/6000, there is a need to connect a PC over ethernet.
PC-NFS has been proposed. I have little experience with NFS in general
and no experience with PC-NFS in particular. This connection will involve
an unmanned PC and therefore must be reliable. Any comments positive
or negative would be appreciated.
I have to discuss these situations in the next few days so any comments
would be greatly appreciated. E-mail prefered.
Thanks,
John
