Summary: Experiences with Wollogong



We have a large, heterogeneous network here at Sanders.  We are running
Wollogongs package on two nodes, one with the shared DEUNA and one with
the Interlan card.  Both versions seem to work quite well although the
mail scheme is a serious hack, requiring all mail to be addessed to the
account which runs a batch job to read and forward its mail.  My main
complaint about the Wollogong package is its price!  Three times the price
of many comparable packages offering higher performance!  Currently
we are looking for substitutes for the Wollogong package as our network
continues to expand.  In your posting you mention the Interlan package
and the Excellan package.  Interlan claims that although they do not
support the routed daemon and they cannot function as a gateway they do
know how to address packets to hosts connected through gateways.  The
main problem with Interlan is that they do not yet support smtp.

We are also looking at CMC's (Communication Machinery Company) TCP/IP
package.  This package supports smtp and routing.
