From: PORTER <mike%vax1.acs.udel.edu@louie.udel.EDU> Does anyone have any information on a product called 'JNET' for VMS. This is used to access BITNET. It is supposedly marketed by Joiner Associates, but I do now know how to get in touch with them. An address for Joiner and general information on the quality of the product would be appreciated.

I'm not even going to bother figuring out who's into domains and
who's not... I'll just post the info for everyone..
jnet (tm) is indeed a product of Joiner Associates in Wisconsin. In my
opinion it does an excellant job of making a Vax talk like a VM running
RSCS. In fact, in many respects I'm convinced that a Vax running jnet 2.0
is a better VM than a VM is! They also have excellant customer support.
Version 2, which is shipping/will ship real soon (I'm pretty sure I remember
October as the ship date) has lots of neat features in it including full
profs (tm) and all-in-1 (tm) support (Profs is a product of IBM and all-in-1
is a product of DEC.) Being that it supports RSCS emulation, it's an ideal
vehicle for connecting to Bitnet, but it's not limited to that. Great
for connecting any arbitrary VM and Vax.. Runs on the full vax product
line from uVax to 8600. For more information contact the jnet sales people
through the network at:
jnet%wiscpsl@wiscvm.bitnet
Actually, I think the address is more like "jnet%wiscpsl.bitnet@wiscvm.arpa"
Sorry.. I've been up for too long and am to lazy to abort this message
and go back and correct it. That'll teach me not to send/edit..

I have no connection with joiner associates other than as a beta tester
for jnet. My opinions are my own and nothing in this message should imply
a commitment from joiner for any product or service.
