- Hello, everyone,
-
- I have the following scenario, which I'd like to present to the net and
- see what other people may suggest.
-
- The company I work for has a central site in Ventura, CA, and remote sites
- around the state, between 80 and 300 miles away.
-
- The central site has two VAX cpu's, and I need about 16-20 terminals or
- printers at each remote site. There's no need to have 'stuff' at the remote
- sites networked with the central site at this point (such as PC's running
- Pathworks for example), but it may be needed in the future.
-
- DEC's suggestion was to go with DECMuxes. Terry Poot suggested to use
- a product called ILAN, to extend the LAN from the central site to the
- remote sites. The VAXes have DECnet, but no TCP/IP. If we are to set up
- DEC (or third party) terminal servers at the remote sites, they communicate
- with the cpu's via LAT, a non-routable protocol.
-
- What would you suggest?
-
- Thanks,
-
