We have a Unimation PUMA robot that we'd like to hook up to any one of
three different Unix boxes we have (SGI Iris 3030, HP 9000/Renaissance Box
- oops I guess I meant two ;-) to use them as supervisor systems. Ultimately
we'd like to be able to simulate robot stuff on the unix systems and download
the successful paths etc to the robot.  The main problem here is that the
PUMA controller only speaks DDCMP - which I gather is DEC's serial-line
DECnet protocol?  Does anyone know of a set of subroutines/functions for
Unix Sys V with Berkeley extensions if needed that will take data and
encapsulate them into DDCMP packets for transmission to the puma? Commercial
or not, I'd really be interested in hearing about anything that could help
with this.  Thanks in advance,
