"Data General brings Unix, TCP/IP to its
Eclipse and DS minicomputers."
Data General Corp. announced DG/UX, a native Unix
implementation of Berkeley 4.1 software distribution
for its Eclipse superminicomputers and Distributed System
(DS)) workstations...
Programs written ##################
In a related announcement, DG released a version of
TCP/IP... The company's AOS/VS operating system will
support TCP/IP,and hardware will be introduced to support
the protocol on Eclipse...

-------------------------------------------------------------
I have some questions about this TCP/IP venture.
1. What networking applications run on top of the TCP/IP?
Are they the typical Arpa suite (FTP, Telnet, SMTP) or
something else?
2. Is there a packet-level driver associated with this package
(1822 or X.25) or is it confined to LAN's?
3. What are the antecedents of the AOS TCP/IP?
Could it have been a porting of 4.1?
-------------------------------------------------------------
There's a lot of interest on this end; the AUTOVON/ETS/DSN
environment has a lot of DG's.
Best,
