Message-ID: <6752@dcatla.UUCP> Date: 15 Jul 88 15:19:23 GMT Reply-To: dnwcv@sune.UUCP (William C. VerSteeg) Organization: DCA Inc., Alpharetta, GA Lines: 29 Does anyone know if you can run asynchronous DECnet over a telnet connection? Here is the configuration under consideration. __________ | | |-----------------------| | | MVAX |-------MODEM------|Telnet terminal server |-----| | | |_______________________| | __________ |________| | | | |---| VAX | | | | | |________| The MVAX would run asynch DECnet just like it were connected directly the the VAX. The MVAX would call the remote Telnet terminal server, which would establish an IP/TCP/Telnet session to the VAX. The VAX would have to use a Telnet session just like it would a direct terminal and run (asynch ?)DECnet over it. Any other way to run Decnet over a non-proprietary link (like using an IP router to route DECNET 8-) ) would be appreciated. Obviously this is not a high performance configuration. We are being forced to be creative due to not having asynch ports on our new VAXEN. The terminal servers are running Telnet in the interest of having multi-vendor connectivity. Thanks in advance Bill VerSteeg
