We have an application that transfers files between Tandems (running Guardian) and PC's using IXF (Information Exchange Facility). We have documentation for IXF, which shares the document with PCT, a (tandem)6530 terminal emulator for the PC. That documentation does not make it clear whether IXF is a Tandem proprietary product (i.e., original) or was borrowed from some pre-existing protocol. We are migrating the product to the Sun386i, and would like to use IXF for file transfer to avoid rewriting code on the Tandem, but we can't seem to get IXF to work (under program control) through the dos emulator that comes with the Sun386i. Yes, I know that Tandem is going to release their TCP/IP implementation (presumably including FTP?) real *soon* now. Still, the ideal solution for us would be to find a version of IXF that runs on UNIX. Please reply by e-mail -- John Methot ...!rutgers!ogccse!hpupora!hpubvwa!pilchuck!gtenmc!johnm johnm@gtenmc
