We started with the IBM TCP/IP IUP from Wisconson Univ...then replaced it with KNET/K200 then added IBM -VM-TCP/IP with the BTI, then added IBM-TCP/IP with the SNALINK...IBM seems to be a SERIOUS player in TCP/IP.. Currently we have VM-KNET,,IBM-VM FAL,,,IBM-MVS-TCP/IP,,,we will be dropping one of the VM TCP/IP products...and we will be keeping the TCP/IP over SNA capability..... *********************************************************************** Don Smith Senior Software Engineer--Communication Systems General Electric Company CIT/Corporate Research and Development Processing ______ BITNET: SMITH@GECRDVM1 / | INTERNET: SMITH%GECRDVM1@crd.ge.com | | * _________/ | GEMS: GECRDVM1(SMITH) > 0 | DIALCOMM 8-235-1946 / | AT&TNET: 1-(518)-385-1946 |______________ | SNEAKERNET:General Electric Company `_ | Corporate Information Technology `__| 2500 Cambridge Road 2nd Floor East Wing Schenectady New York, 12345 FAX: 1-518-385-0654
