Do any of the ultrix networking protocols (tcp/ip, decnet, lat etc.) work
with any of the unibus to ethernet cards *other* than digital's deuna?
I assume tcp/ip would in all cases once the right device driver, hopefully
supplied by the vendor, was installed. I also assume that decnet would
not work and am unsure about lat. Can anyone answer this question with
regard to the products of 3Com, Interlan, Excelan etc? Thanks.

I'm looking for a controller which draws less than the deuna's 15 amps
at +5V. I've heard that there is a new deuna which will use something like
8 amps (but the Excelan card only draws 5.5 amps). But it was still just
a rumor at DECUS.

TCP/IP definitely works under Ultrix on a non-DEC controller.  We are using
an Interlan controller (not the NP100, the older one) with no problems.
I don't know about DECNET, but I haven't seen any indication that it won't
work on a device other than a DEUNA.  I'll look through my documentation
again tomorrow when I get to the office to see if there is any indication
of no DECNET without a DEUNA.

Interlan works and drivers are present for several other vendors.
Ultrix has all the 4.2BSD ethernet drivers which can be found in
/usr/sys/vaxif if you have Ulrix up.  They are also documented in section 4
of the Ultrix Programmers manual.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Digital announce the DELUA at DECUS
which effectively obsoletes the DEUNA?

I didn't see any announcement, but then I wasn't looking. I did however
check with the networks booth where they had all the new fancy stuff on
display and did not see a delua AND I was told there by a Digital representative
that the delua had not been announced. But I've since received a message
from the group which developed the delua which said it is an announced
product. I'ld check in with the local dec office and ask them to confirm
it, if I were you. At 8 amps, I still can't fit it into my 750s.
