VAX <-- very fast data link --> Data General: need help

[George W. Sherouse]

	It appears that in the near future we will be acquiring a
	data-acquisition device which we will need to link in the
	fastest practical way with our existing 750.  The possibility
	exists that the chosen machine will be based on a Data
	General computer.  Inasmuch as I wouldn't know a DG machine
	from Adam (Don't you love these in-jokes?) I appeal to the
	net...

	Is it (really) possible to network a DG machine with our
	VAX?  Has anyone done it?  What hardware is required?
	Does the software exist for bsd 4.2 and whatever DG uses
	for an OS?

	Understand that we are more or less unrestricted as to the
	choice of networking protocol.  In fact it is not clear
	that we require a network per se.  The object is to have
	access to collected data as quickly as possible so as to
	provide feedback to the operator from the VAX.  My favorite
	option is a dual-ported RA**.  Does such a thing exist in
	DG land?

	In short, HELP!!!
