Hello !
     Our Engineer Brigade has a large number of WANG PCs.  Some have IBM
Emulation Cards/Software, but we have only recently tried to use them. *NOW*
we know that with the Emulation Software (V 2.11), you apparently need to have
a copy of PCDOS to get any use out of it.  Does anybody out there have any
experience in using the WANG as an IBM Clone ?  Can someone recommend a vendor
for PCDOS (if we do in fact need it) ?
     Also, we wish (don't laugh) to network these anti-social animals, possibly
through a DEC PDP11/24 Mini.  VT100 emulation works flawlessly with our RSX 11M
operating system, but all real info transfer depends on KERMIT-11-- dependable
but somewhat cumbersome.  Any ideas out there ?  Gramm-Rudmann aside, we really
are into trying to save those tax dollars, so please don't suggest a mass
scrapping....  
    Please reply to 20s1-s4@braggvax.arpa.
                                    Thanks for your time--

                                    --Dave Wegener
