I have a very influencial customer at Kennedy Space Center who has asked the following question. This gentleman is repsonsible for purchasing $10M of DEC product over the next 24 months and he is currently investigating our ATM capabilities. Any help or a push in the right direction would be appreciated. Thanks! Keith Given --------------------------------------------------------- Subject: ATM & FDDI with the SBC Hi Keith, Question, is there a capability to use ATM with the Alpha Single board computer. It wouldn't have to be a daughter card, it fact, it would be much better if it didn't. Maybe a VME ATM card which could be accessed by the SBC. What I need is a way to convert from ATM to FDDI. The ATM stuff will be in native ATM format and the FDDI stuff will be IP multi-cast. So, we need a box which can accept (say 4) ATM connections and one dual-attach FDDI connection.

Most people following the noted::ATM conference are unfamiliar with real-time single-board-computer products, the VME bus, and so forth. You must ask this question in a real-time products conference. What you get from NPB is ATM NICs for PCI busses; what you get from D.UNIX, VMS and NPB's WinNT folks are drivers for those cards. | |||||

If the single board computer has enough normal PCI slots, then you
could probably do what you want using Digital UNIX. I'm assuming you
want to route IP between FDDI and ATM. If you want to route something
else, then you would have to write a convergence module (kernel code)
to handle whatever protocol you need.
If the single board computer has only VME or mezzanine-style PCI slots,
then you're out of luck unless you find suitable 3rd party hardware and
software.
