Hi Bambang! While this is definitely not the best forum for this
question, there is quite a lot of VAX expertise here. :-)
Whether or not an interface supports TCP/IP isn't a matter of the
board, but the operating system on the machine. Every operating
system I've seen on a VAX...be it VMS or a UNIX variant like
Ultrix...is capable of running TCP/IP on a DESQA interface, assuming
you've got the operating system configured correctly. You should be
able to connect your VAX to your TCP/IP LAN with no problems at all.
Treat those VAX 3400s well...they're great machines! :-)
Good luck,
-Dave
