I just received my copy of "The IBM Software Catalog for VM Systems"
in the mail today.  The following is an excerpt from this catalog.
 
 
VM Interface Program for TCP/IP
-------------------------------
 
Program Number:		5798-DRG
 
Purpose:		This program offering provieds the VM/SP user with
			the ability to participate in a network using the
			TCP/IP transmission protocol.  This includes the
			ability to transfer files, send mail, and log on 
			remotely to a VM host.  The Program uses a 
			System/370 channel, attached to a front-end Series/1
			with EDX or RPS, or a Device Access Control Unit.
			Sample programs are provided for these system
			configuratuions to permit intrfaceing to local area
			networks including X.25, ProNET, or Ethernet.
 
Manuals:		Availability Notice, GB13-7712.
 
 
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience
with this product and what likes and dislikes they have with this
product.
 
I have not talked with my IBM salesman yet, so I don't have any other
information (cost, availability, etc). 
 
If you mail any reques to me I will be glad to send you any additional
information when I get it.  If there is enough demand I will post a summary
to the net.
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Bill
