Both uVAX's have DEQNA's and the 11/780 has a DEUNA. We also have two unused ethernet boards, one NI2010-A and one NI1010-A, respectively. All machines are running VMS 4.x. Are there reasonably priced IP-TCP drivers for these Interlan boards which are relatively bug-free? How reliable are the smart IP-TCP boards? What is the best method to connecting the remaining uVax without the additional ethernet board, more hardware or a shared DEQNA software package? I would appreciate hearing others experiences with such a problem and their recommendations on vendors. The reason we have the extra boards is that we purchased an XNS package which was terribly bug-ridden and not very functional. My apologies for raising questions that probably have already been discussed but I have only recently obtained access to this forum. Alex Woo woo@nyu-acf4.arpa
