We are about to try to connect :

      1 Vax 11/780 - VMS
      2 uVax II - VMS
      1 Apollo DN660 (SYS V or Berk. 4.2 or DOMAIN/AEGIS)
      1 Sun-3/160 - UNIX
      2 Masscomp 5500 - UNIX

This is going to be done using ethernet.  I have a couple of
questions:

    1. Is there a VMS product for running TCP/IP ?
    2. Can all of these systems be used with a DELNI ?
       (A DELNI is an "Ethernet-in-a-box", eg no cable or transceiver)
    3. Should we even bother to try to get the VAX systems to talk
       to the other systems with TCP/IP ?
    4. Is there a better solution than TCP/IP for about the same cost?

Thanks in advance for any help on this.

you have a couple of options in connecting the vms vax systems using
tcp/ip.

we use the wollongong software on our vms vax systems...seems to work
quite well...also, exelan has a tcp/ip package available for about
$8K including the hardware and software needed...this SHOULD work on
your net...

we have 2 vms vaxen and a BSD 4.2 vax connected up on a tcp/ip net
along with a sun 2/130 and a AT&T pc...everything works...

    Excelan makes a VMS TCP/IP Ethernet gateway which allows us to
    "rlogin/telnet" from any Unix machine on our net to one of the
    VMS machines, which acts as a gateway to the DECnet.  (ftp is
    also supported).  So far it seems to work pretty well.  We
    installed it just last week!

    How did the DELNI experiment go?  We have two sitting in a box
    ready to be used and are hoping for the best!

    Thanks...
