We have a vax 785 running VMS 4.7 and Eunice 4.3.1. This critter
co-exists on our ethernet here with lots of suns and other ethernet
type thingys. We have recently had some problems with the Wollongon's
implementation. (mainly old bugs re-occurring in new releases, and
lack of help at their end. - so I'm told by the people here who have
delt with them.) Our main problem as of late has been this. When we
telnet from our suns (OS - Unix) to the Vax (OS VMS) it works fine
until you hit a cntl-c or cntl-y. This will lock up the window on the
sun completely! This problem occurred after installing a new version
of the Wollongon software.
We would like to find an alternative. The solution must be able to
handle the following:
o we would like this solution to run in a cluster environment (on the
off chance that this system ever gets upgraded
o we would like the solution to be able to use RBMS (DEC's Remote
Bridge Management System). I'm told that there is a dec board
that will not be supported soon. We don't want to get locked into
that one.
o works with EUNICE, in some acceptable fashion.
I did see one solution here in comp.os.vms that suggested using a
microvax running ultrix and using that as a gateway to our existing
vax. Anyone have any comments on this idea? Pros/cons?
What about Excellan? I know nothing about it. Where can I get info
about it? (ie what's their phone number :-)
Thanks for all the replies in advance, I'll summerize to the net if
other people show interest too.
