I'm looking for a way to connect a DECstation (2100, 3100, or 5000) to
an X.25 wide area network. I'm only interested in solutions for
desktop machines so any Q-Bus solutions won't be helpful. I have
heard that there are some SCSI based solutions and possibly some
Turbochannel cards in the works.
I know about DEC's X25router 2000, but it only works for DECnet over
X.25. I'm looking for native X.25 and IP over X.25. I also know
about SSI's interface, but was told by them that it was for Vaxstation
3100 only, not for the RISC machines.
From the software side, we are hoping for a socket based X.25
interface and also in the ability to do IP over X.25.
What I really want is the equivalent of Sun's Sunlink DDN, but for
DECstation.
Any information you have will be really appreciated. Please reply to
me directly as I don't generally read these groups.
Thank you very much,
