Data General Corp. announced DG/UX, a native Unix implementation of Berkeley 4.1 software distribution for its Eclipse superminicomputers and Distributed System (DS)) workstations... Programs written ################## In a related announcement, DG released a version of TCP/IP... The company's AOS/VS operating system will support TCP/IP,and hardware will be introduced to support the protocol on Eclipse... (price quotes follow) ------------------------------------------------------------- I have some questions about this TCP/IP venture. 1. What networking applications run on top of the TCP/IP? Are they the typical Arpa suite (FTP, Telnet, SMTP) or something else? 2. Is there a packet-level driver associated with this package (1822 or X.25) or is it confined to LAN's? 3. What are the antecedents of the AOS TCP/IP? Could it have been a porting of 4.1? ------------------------------------------------------------- There's a lot of interest on this end; the AUTOVON/ETS/DSN environment has a lot of DG's.
