Apologies if this request is downright naive.
As you all have probably heard XNS will be supported under 4.3.
We are currently running a VAX/785 and we have a number of TCP/IP
connections to other in-house machines.

My question to all you dcoms types is can we integrate those fancy
Xerox systems (which i believe support only XNS) into our current
environment and still remain transparent over the network. I've
heard a rumor that the Xerox systems (Dandelion etc.) only support
the original Ethernet spec. which differs slightly in the preamble
format( I think). These are, of course, two seperate problems.

Anybody have any experience integrating these systems into a 4.2/3
environment ?

Many thanks for your time and effort in advance.
