| There are in fact two SNA AM.
1. The first is called Aetius, and provides two way management between
netmaster and DECmcc. Supposedly it is going to be demonstarted at
DECworld. Contact delni::d_holland for further details. Its
developed by IBM interconnect engineering and systems
centre inc.
2. the other is called camelot, and was devleoped in france. It
provides a monitoring capability only. The adavantages (i think)
over aetius are
1. there is some configuration information included
2. there is no code that runs on the IBM system
3. probably much cheaper as no third party software involved.
send mail to clarid::patel for further information about the french
tool. We are currently looking for field test sites. it was
primarily intended to be a service tool.

| For an informed discussion of Aetius I suggest you look thru
the Aetius notesfile which exists on SMAUG::AETIUS. Membership
in this notesfile can be arranged thru one of the 3 moderators:
Daniel Holland (DELNI::D_HOLLAND)
Sally Martin (SMAUG::SMARTIN)
Kathrin Winkler (SMAUG::WINKLER)
Aetius (DECmcc SNA Management) is a joint development
project between Digital (LKG) and Software Developments, Intl
in Sydney, Australia. The development effort and investment
are significant for both companies because it delivers true
peer-to-peer interoperability between DECmcc and NetView, or
between DECmcc and NET/MASTER. NetView and NET/MASTER are
management "directors" for IBM/SNA environments.
Aetius will be field tested at 10 sites in the US, Europe and
Australia and will be available as a PRODUCT in Q1FY93. The
product name is expected to be "DECmcc SNA Management."
FYI, Tony Chance of Networks Marketing in Singapore or Mark
Barron in SPR Networks Marketing in Melbourne can probably
help you in the PAC Rim.
See you in SMAUG::AETIUS.
