OpenVMS Alpha SNA, PSI (X.25), LAT?

» close window

The Question is:

 
My client is moving from a VAX 6610 running OpenVMS 5.5-2 to an AlphaServer
4100 3 CPU system running OpenVMS 6.2.  They currently use the products PSI,
SNA (through a Channel Server) and still use and download operating systems
to DECserver 200s.  Will t
he products on the EIP disc that comes with the Alpha allow them to continue
to use the functionalities described above?  The SNA software is used to
allow 3270 terminal emulation, file transfer, and printing services from an
IBM mainframe.  The PSI softw
are is for dialup access, and the terminal servers support over 100 VT420s.
I'd appreciate any help you can provide on this, as I've scanned everywhere
and cannot seem to find the correct information.  Thanks,
 
Paul Lowe.

The Answer is :

 
  Please contact pre-sales technical support or your reseller for
  assistance.
 
  You will likely be interested in the X.25 package (X.25 V1.1 for
  OpenVMS Alpha Systems), the OpenVMS SNA package, and DECnet-Plus.
 
  DECserver 200 software can be downloaded via DECnet Phase IV MOP,
  via DECnet-Plus MOP, or via LANCP (in V6.2 and later).  The Wizard
  is not particularly aware of a kit for the DECserver 200 on OpenVMS
  Alpha, but the same system file being downloaded on OpenVMS VAX can
  be configured for downloading and then used on OpenVMS Alpha.
