From: Mike Iglesias <iglesias@uci-icsa> We are going to get Joiner's jnet software to connect our 780 to BITNET. Can someone who has this software tell me which sync line interface - DUP-11 or DMF-32 - impacts the system less? For obvious reasons, we'd like to keep the impact of adding the sync line to a minimum. If you can provide performance data, please do. Thanks, Mike Iglesias University of California, Irvine iglesias@uci-icsa.arpa

From: Richard Garland <OC.GARLAND%CU20B@COLUMBIA.ARPA> I have been told by the author of jnet that the DMF-32 impacts the system substantially less (he is Craig Watkins). I have not measured this but the DMA is apparently a big win. We run on a DUP since the DMF was not supported when we started running jnet and our DMF port is used for DECnet. Given the choice, I would switch to the DMF. Rg -------

From: Mike Iglesias <iglesias@uci-icsa> Thank you for your information. We suspected that the DMF was better than the DUP.
