I have been tasked with investigating methods of interfacing 
Macintoshes with VAXes. What we need to do is transfer a large 
number of bulky source files from VAX to a Mac-readable removable 
HD.

The current method that is employed involves setting up the Mac as 
a virtual terminal on the terminal cluster. File transfers take place at 
4800 or 9600 bps, and I don't know whether any error correction 
takes place.

Is there anyone out there in net.land who knows of a better way to 
do this? There's gotta be a way to get an ethernet going between Mac 
and VAX. Even better would be a way for the VAX to drive the HD 
directly, through a special controller. I'm very ignorant about VAX 
hardware, though...

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

AdvTHANKSance,

Dave
