We are attempting to network all of our in-house machines, which basically fit into two categories, DEC-like and IBM machines. We are installing Ethernet for the DEC type machines, a Vax 11/750 and several 68000 supermicros. The IBM machines, 6 Series/1 minis, have several networking possibilities, all of which use synchronous protocols, sdlc, hdlc, or bisync. All of our systems are running Unix, and have an implementation of TCP/IP. The big problem is interconnecting these two groups of machines. Our current thinking is to use a DUP11 synchronous board on the 750 connected to one of the Series/1. In looking through our 4.2 distribution, I am unable to find a driver for a DUP11. Does anybody have or know of such a driver? I would be glad to hear other peoples experiences and/or suggestions concerning this problem. Please respond by mail, and I will summarize on the net if there is enough interest.

Re: DUP11 driver A DUP11 driver is supplied with the UREP (Unix RSCS) package from Univ of Pittsburg.

Send mail to dae@psuvax1.UUCP for more information. It may not be what you need, unless you are building an RSCS local- and/or wide-area-network. Such networks use the RSCS (Remote Spooling Communications Subsystem) protocol and can include IBM machines running VM, VAX systems running VMS, and anything with UNIX (as long as it has a UNIBUS and a DUP11 or you're willing to write your own device driver). It works over channel-to-channel adapters (between IBMs), over DECnet (between VAX/VMS systems), and over bisync lines (all combinations). Send mail to me for more on RSCS. Stephen L.
