In the last days Info-Vax-Mail there was somebody who asked about
a "fast" connection VAX <==> IBM.
 
We have ( better say would like to have) our VAX systems connected
to an 3081 using the IBM-Product DACU, which allows Network connections
via ETHERNET using the TCP/IP protocols. May be other installations
have the same Device.
I write this in order give a serious waring. Our DACU broke about
15-April-86! and IBM has until now not been able to put it onto
work again.
So you better try other hardware combinations.
 
On the other hand, I would be glad to hear from installations with
working DACUs.
