In response to a RFP, I have prepared a table showing the
possible network protocols for interconnecting Digital's client &
server system (as follow). Since I am new to DECwindows, and I do not
know if such a table exists in any official publication, I would
like to get some comments and feedback.
Thanks,

The thing I see most obviously missing is LOCAL transport on VMS/VMS (when they are the same node) and UNIX DOMAIN for Ultrix (same conditions, I think). Burns | |||||

Have you looked in the SPD, btw? There are a variety of inter os compatibility statements etc. I'm not sure if they talk about specific transports so clearly. That is a good and useful chart that you made. Burns | |||||

Another transport mechanism available on many UN*X type systems is the
shared memory transport. It is an alternative to the local transport.
