Good news for those who plan to swap a VAX for a SUN: The Penn-State
Unix RSCS Emulation Program runs on SUN without additional hardware.
Using a pseudo device driver (Public Domain) one of the zs ports on CPU
board is made to talk BSC to an IBM running RSCS-V1. The user-level code
originally from PSU compiles and runs smoothly on SUN - no machine depenent
bugs, (just ordinary UREP bugs ;-)). So, if you want to have a SUN connected
to BITNET - there you go! Get the original UREP package from PSU ( send
e-mail to Dae@PSUVAX1.BITNET) which is $800 for an educational site, and drop
me a line and I'll send you the device driver.

P.S.
TAURUS.BITNET was a VAX/780 and is now a SUN-3/180 !
