617.0. "UCX, Mac setup guide?" by AUNTB::DAVISST () Mon Jun 22 1992 15:11

    Customer sent me the following.  Where do they look to see how to setup
    to use the DEMFA for TCP, IP, UCX, and AppleTalk?
    
    All pointers appreciated.

Subject: Support of TCP/IP/UCX and Appletalk/Pathworks for MAC via FD

Steve,

Please forward to me information on how to set-up the subject software and the 
DECbridges to support TCP/IP/UCX and Appletalk/Pathworks for MAC protocols via 
the FDDI adapters. The MFA-0 adapters are not standard options with the UCX and 
Appletalk Management software.

Thanks,

617.1UCX V2.0 and later will support DEMFAMSBCS::KALKUNTERam Kalkunte 293-5139Tue Jun 23 1992 10:267
    UCX V2.0 will support the DEMFA device. V1.3a (which may be what your
    customer uses) does not. UCX 2.0 is in FT3 testing at this time. You 
    may want to get in touch with Alex LADDIE::CONTA or Ben LADDIE::LEVIN 
    and find out if using FT3 is the right step for your customer.

    Thanks -- this is waht I suspected.
    
    From DSIN, they have found a way to "trick" the Mac software.  I also
    assume that will be supported in a future release.
    
    I do not believe that the customer will have a problem with a timing
    issue for releases.
