- NYIT may soon be able to connect a Mac Lab to some VAXen. Our MIS
- administrator (who's very excited about the idea) said he knew of two ways
- we could go
- 1. a GATOR box connected into a MAC lan and
- 2. Pathworks for (each?) computer on an EtherNet system.
- I have a few questions:
- 1. Did Bob Boston have difficulty with a GATOR Box earlier?
- 2. Has anyone any experience with G-Boxes connected to Vax 750 series,
- 8650 series or 2000 series computers? Elaborate please.
- 3. Is any lab using Parthworks to connect Vax and Mac? If so, what's your
- evaluation of the product?
- 4. Those who use Eudora, what are the Vax/Mac configurations needed for it?
- We will have a multipurpose lab with classes scheduled in it most of the
- time. There may be some use of the machines for Sixel Graphics on the Vax
- (which seems to rule out the GATOR box and LocalTalk approach?). I'm unsure
- of the Vax front end configuration (they will of install a new front end
- also). The current front end is looked into old technology (1200 baud direct
- line!).

- Please respond directly to me at
- robertroyar@delphi.com (preferred) or r0mill01@ulkyvx.louisville.edu
- if possible to avoid the net chatter. I'll try to keep all the responses
- together and mail out a summary later.
