Greetings all -- I received the following request for information, and I'm afraid I am completely clueless about the issues involved.

The NCP is part of the ICA microcode, and can be set to look like a set of SDLC lines or BSC lines (or if you have the X.25 widget, ) a X.25 PAD. There's a red book on configuring VTAM to cope with the ICA -- it's not like the other FEPs. Also, the 4361's are a little weird. >>> I want to know if it is possible to connect the 2 machines or not? What kind of interfaces are available on the Vax? Drop me a note separately -- we just decomissioned a 4361 with a similar setup and maybe I can help. -- David Boyes dboyes@rice.edu
