I have a project running on a vax 8530 using Rdb, Teamdata and Rally that is
accesed by PC using PROCOMM. The users create their reports on the vax and
print it using PROCOMM. It works well. The project covers New York State
, including New York City.
I'd be glad to give you more details if you are going that route!
Macs access the database usually using Red Ryder or NCSA Telnet if connecting
on Campus (where the vax computer resides).
