Hi --- I would like to run TCP-IP between a 3B2/600 and a 6386E [both under UNIX System V]. To be more specific, the two systems are about 1500 miles apart, and are interconnected by a 9600 baud private line equipped with synchronous modems at each end. Performance is not an issue at this time. I have found reference to an X.25 "spigot" for TCP-IP on the 3B2 end using the SPSC board (is this some derivative of the ISC board?) However, I've got no information yet on its companion hardware/software on the 6386E end (we do have the AT&T X.25 card for the 6386E already, along with the 3B2 ISC card). Can anyone advise, comment, or otherwise shed some light on this? Thanks in advance -- M. R. Baker AT&T-BL, Holmdel, NJ email to: hoqub!mrb (will also watch these newsgroups for replies) 201-949-7935

In reference to using X.25 to connect them.. You would save yourself much grief if you punt X.25 entirely and get a pair of XT's and use pcroute. Not only do you ace the X.25 overhead, but you also get rid of the cost of X.25 ( which has got to be more than the 1.5K two pcrouters would cost. Want details give me a yell alex
