As you may recall I asked about putting a Vax on a network containing Suns. Specifically I was wondering how to do it (i.e. what software was around). Well I received many replies. They all pretty well pointed to the same products. 1) Sunlink DNI 2) Wollongong WIN/TCP 3) MultiNet People had good and bad things to say about each (i.e. they all have their bugs) so I'm not going to go into all of that here. Suffice to say that these three were recommended by several people. Also mentioned were: 4) Process software (I received no other information about this) 5) CMU TCP/IP (I got the impression that there is little support for this) After talking to the respective companies it looks like we are going to get Wollongong's TCP and NFS software (their price seemed to be the best). If you want more information on this send me a message and I'll forward the replies that I received.
