Message-ID: <3697@fluke.COM> Date: 10 May 88 00:38:45 GMT Sender: news@tc.fluke.COM Lines: 24 Keywords: DECnet LANBridge socket unix maintenance network I have an Ethernet comprising several segments, all joined by DEC LANBridges. I now need to communicate with the LANBridges to check some error statistics that they gather. I know that DEC offers some "Remote Bridge Management" software which would do this, but that's a VMS-only product. For various reasons, I must speak to them from UNIX. I'm leafing through a pile of DECnet manuals and I can see that there's enough information here to let me write a UNIX program which would simulate DECnet sufficiently to collect the few statistics that I need. But I'd rather not start from scratch. I'd like to get in touch with anybody who can offer anything to help. I'd especially appreciate a library of functions which implement basic DECnet protocols in a UNIX process.
