Boston University has been an Ungermann-Bass Net/One site for about 3 years.
At this time we are exclusively a broadband site, with 2 channels allocated
for data. One channel (4A/R) is our terminal and host async traffic. This
channel is currently around 1100 ports on NIU 2B, 150, and 180 equipment.
The second channel is used exclusively for host-to-host traffic through
NIU 150's with the DR11-W interface. Currently we are running TCP/IP
via UB's datagram service over channel 4/Q.
Anyway....I would like to compile a list UB sites and their various
configurations. Although there is a formal users group, this might
be a good way of informally addressing obscure bugs, other problems, and
possible solutions. Currently, I have no way to verify various
network system problems, and it would sure be nice to be able to call
UB and say "So and so and so is having the same problems".
At times, UB response to specific problems have been "That will be fixed in
release 1000.A1" or "Gee, that the first time I've heard about that - Let
me call California". All in all, as a general disclaimer, we are fairly
happy with UB's product, however there has been times that I wanted to
turn to other users for information and support.
If you respond to this request, please include the names of people
at your site associated with both the management and technical aspects
of your system. I will collect these responses and send them back as soon
as possible. Furthermore, I'll send this list to any who request it.
Thanx in advance.
