It's called "DECnet/DOS", and it works over either an asynchronous line or Ethernet. They support 3Com cards for sure, although I don't know which ones, and I'm not sure if they support others, like Excelan. I'm sure your local DEC sales rep can find out for you which cards are supported. DECnet/DOS functions as an end node (i.e., can't be a router), and comes with SETHOST (TELNET), FAL (FTP server), NFT (FTP), and NCP (network management software). I've used it; it works. -- Larry Campbell The Boston Software Works, Inc.
