I have a few questions about networking PRIME 9955 over an Ungram-Bass
network to a UNIX based ethernet network on which we are running TCP/IP.
Does anyone have any ideas about how we can get the PRIME to talk to
any of the UNIX systems (SUN, MASSCOMP, APOLLO) ?

I will post a followup on what I find out if I find a solution.

The last time I checked, the only thing Prime had (other than Primenet)
was TCP/IP over x.25.   I guess you could put an x.25 interface on one of
your unix boxes (Sun has one), or use an x.25 to E-net gateway (Bridge
Communications, etc ~$10k).

I believe that Prime also introduced Primenet for the IBM/PC, so you might
be able to kludge something there.   

All we have at the moment for our two primes is a TCP terminal server backed
up as a milking machine, but let us know if you find something interesting.
