Hi there,
my requests are very simple:
SCENARIO
Customer with Ethernet, 1 VAX, several PCs, 1 PDP, 1 Siemens BS2000.
They've already tried FTSIE, they liked it and now they bought it, BUT
From the PC they would like to:
1) become a Siemens terminal
2) do file transfers with the Siemens host
in note 67.3 are mentioned two products for PCs:
a) FT-DOS which is an OSI file transfer.
b) EMDS9750 which is a Siemens terminal emulator.
QUESTIONS
1) Where to buy a) and b) with Company, address, phone number etc.
2) Prices of a) and b)
3) Contacts and useful hints if any.
Thanks in advance and regards
Joe

The terminalemulation you mention is - as far as I know - CONWARE - see note 14 FT-DOS is - as far as I know- a Siemens-Product -> Note 28 | |||||
| 83.2 | a simple solution (?) | MUDIS3::RBOEDEKER | Wed Nov 28 1990 20:53 | 26 | |
EMDS is a Terminal-Emulation Product from Siemens for SINIX, MS-DOS, and SCO/UNIX (WX200). FT-MSDOS is the FTBS2000 for DOS-PC (like FTSIE for the VAX) . As you know, FTSIE is only supported in configurations with FTBS2000. It is very important to test it before you recomment it with other configurations to your customer (and you never know if a later version still works)!!! A simple and working solution to your problem is the following: Take FTSIE for filetransfer to BS2000 Take MEPOSIE from Integrata for the 9750 emulation Take PCSA (now PATHWORKS for VMS) to connect the PC to the VAX Then you can login to the VAX and then via MEPOSIE to BS2000. For the filetransfer PCSA offers a FILE-SERVICE (DOS files are on the VAX), so you can take FTSIE to BS2000 or NFT (Network File Transfer) like VAX COPY to send files from the PC to the VAX. All software for the PC-Integration you need is included in PCSA. I hope this helps, Ralf | |||||
| 83.3 | Ok got them, thanks | CESARE::CATERINI | C6 B8 = formula del bagno | Fri Dec 14 1990 20:28 | 18 |
Re: -2 Thanks I'll pass the information Re: -1 I know it'ld be better for us to use the uVax they have to sethost on the Siemens from the PC and in fact is OK for file transfer, but one thing is a SERVER and another is a HOST both from the perspective of licences cost and performances. BTW my request was mainly against a Siemens proposal to tie directly the PCs to the BS2000 as dumb terminals and not on the LAN!!! Thanks for the info's guys! P.S. Do the German third parties practice the "try & buy"? | |||||
| 83.4 | Some do Try&Buy | ECCGY4::STROHMAIER | Mon Dec 17 1990 12:35 | 2 | |
ad PS: it depends - some of them do; usually Integrata is quite helpful
- I never dealt with Conware.
