1509.0. "Looking for DEFPA-PA info" by CSC32::K_JOHNSON () Mon Nov 28 1994 18:42

I'm looking for information on the DEFPA-PA PCI to FDDI adaptor.
I need to know if it's supported under OpenVMS AXP 6.1, if we supply the driver
for this, what platforms are currently supported, and would like to get some
performance information as well (xfer rate, ect.).

Could someone kindly point me in right direction for a resource?

thanks,

Kevin

    See note 1169.0 in this conference.  A field test driver is being made
    available for OpenVMS (along with OSF, NetWare, Windows NT, OS/2, etc).

If NETCONFIG doesn't recognize the device as line/circuit FWA-0
then define a logical name FWA0 to be some other LAN device such
as FXA0 and use the line/circuit associated with the other
device such as MFA-0.
