[comp.protocols.misc] wanted: software to talk to a HP 4972

marantz@aramis.rutgers.edu (Roy Marantz) (08/17/87)

Does anyone have any software that will talk (from a regular computer,
say a Sun or a Vax) to a HP 4972 lan protocol analyzer?  I have
documentation on the protocol, but would like to avoid having to
implement it if I can.  (I'm just basically lazy :-)  I want to be
able to get data files from the analyzer and maybe be anble to send a
node-ethernet list to it.  I'd also really like to the source to the
program. 

I'd also be real interested in any code that will talk DDCMP from a
non DEC machine. (i.e. a Sun or Pyramid)  That would be a good start
for writing this "comm" package.

Thanks for any and all assistance and please respond directly to me.
I'll summarize and repost if there is interest.

Technology Concepts Inc sells a complete Decnet package for Suns.  They'r
in Wayland, Mass.  I believe that Sun remarkets the TCOI product.
This should solve your DDCMP needs.
