An institute at our university has a local DECNET with a VAX under VMS
and several PC with DEC's DEPCA ethernet adapters, where they run
several DEC protocols. They will soon be connected to our TCP/IP based
LAN and are looking for a way to run TCP/IP software directly on these
PC's, if possible concurrently with the DEC software.
Has anybody an idea for such an arrangement?
More specifically, is there perhaps a packet driver for the DEC
adapter somewhere, or a packet driver which can be used with DEC's DLL
interface, something similar to the NDIS-to-Packet converter from FTP
software? Or any other solutions... ?

FTP Software has the necessary packages.

Has anybody an idea for such an arrangement? At least two of the commercial DOS TCP/IP packages can talk to the DEC DLL interface: PC/TCP and WIN/PC. At least four of the commercial packages can talk to NDIS (PC/TCP, WIN/PC, BWNFS and PC-NFS), if DEC's NDIS driver can be obtained (I've seen test versions). Current versions of NCSA can't use the NDIS adapter. James B. VanBokkelen 26 Princess St., Wakefield, MA 01880 FTP Software Inc. voice: (617) 246-0900 fax: (617) 246-0901
