Co., Inc., Everett, WA Lines: 11 IBM sells a device called a 7170, aka DACU (Device Attachment Control Unit), which is a channel interface on one side, and a 4-slot UNIBUS backplane on the other side connected by a large amount of fast memory, controlled by a PC(!). Anyway, this device lets you plug your favorite UNIBUS device into your favorite 370 channel. IBM also sells WISCNET, the UofWisconsin TCP/IP for VM/SP. WISCNET will run TCP/IP over X.25 networks through a Series/1, or on LANs using either ProNet or Ethernet hardware. We have an Interlan NI1010A controller on the DACU and have little problem communicating between the IBM and VAXen and SUNs on the Ethernet. /Joe
