Subject: 4.3BSD or Ultrix?
A company called Technology Concepts Inc. markets a
generic DECnet that reportedly runs on 4.xBSD, called
CommUnity. Their literature claims it is compatible
with DECnet Phase IV, UNIX as an operating system.
their address is:
Technology Concepts Inc.
40 Tall Pine Drive
Sudbury, Mass 01776
(617)443-7311
We are not using the product ourselves because we chose
Ultrix. We migrated from Eunice on VMS. I suspect that
#2 above might or might not be correct depending on what
must be converted. We converted Writers Workbench from
Eunice(4.1bsd?!) to Ultrix with no problems, but we have
yet to get S working 100%. DECnet Ultrix works real well.
File copies, remote rm's ls's and cat's are easy both ways.
Task to task communications with VMS is a piece of cake.
All our printing and tape work is done over the network
to VMS machines.
