        Hi...
        I have 2 questions regarding the use of EARN/BITNET line
        to do IP (INTERNET connection).
        A friend told me that I need a Datacompressors and Cisco.
        Well I'd appreciate some information on the above equip. and software
        needed like Vendors, addresses, ..... etc
 
 
                  |-----|                         |------|
  IP   CISCO--9.6-| Data|                         |Data  | --9.6 IP--- CISCO
                  |compressor ------9.6 ----------|Compressor
NJE/BSC EARN--9.6-|     |                         |      | --9.6 BSC - EARN
                  |-----|                         |------|
 
 
 
        The second question is it possible to use SNA instead of that BSC
        together with the IP since we have plans to go SNA instead of
        BSC due to the poor performance of that BSC.
 
        *We are using VAX 11/780 and DMF32 synch-port
         VMS 5.3 and Jnet 3.4 + PMDF 3.1
 
 
        Thanks in advance.
