  The Centre for Large Scale Computation (CLSC) at the University of
Toronto will shortly begin beta testing a new Cray product called
"Satellite Station". This software permits UNIX systems to access the
Cray using TCP/IP over the campus Ethernet.
  This new software offers capabilities similar to those presently
enjoyed by remote DECnet nodes running VMS, such as direct job
submission, job status reporting, and dataset FETCH and DISPOSE. The
use of 'ftp' and 'rlogin' would no longer be necessary.
  CLSC and Cray would like to include as many systems as feasible in
this test. Managers of UNIX systems which have Cray users and which are
connected to the University of Toronto campus network are invited to
contact Dr. Edmund West (yedwest@utorscs.bitnet; yedwest@utgpu; 978-4085)
to discuss this possibility.
