I'm hunting for information on commercial implementations of the XNS
protocol suite.  In particular, ones that can be upgraded to include
TCP/IP, and that can use multibus controllers.  We use UNIX Sys V/68, and
reasonable amount of reworking (including developing drivers) is not out
of line.  I know of two products:

*   NRC's FUSION.  We have their stuff in-house, and I am rather
    displeased at the thought of continuing to work with it.  Their
    support has been execrable, amid other problems.  (I understand
    I missed a discussion a month or two ago about NRC.  Could someone
    summarise it for me?)  They DO provide utilities, though.

*   INTERLAN's ITP stuff.  Runs under Sys V, can use their smart board,
    and I know little else.

Of course, I'll summarise what I find and repost to net.lan.
