A local Minneapolis company, Network Systems Corporation, has been
producing networking hardware and software to support multiple operating
systems since they were formed (70's sometime).  They currently support
IBM VM, IBM MVS, CDC, Burroughs, Sperry, Honeywell, Vaxi (both  VMS
and Ultrix), tandem, prime, pc/ix, pc-dos, xenix, etc, etc, etc.
