85.1 | Is TCP/IP a pre-requisite ? | BIKINI::DITE | PhaseV - Don't Worry! Be Happy... | Thu Nov 29 1990 11:23 | 29 |

That's right. Siemens don't offer a TCP/IP sockets interface (a political
decision).
If TCP/IP
then
if (VAX/Ultrix or VAX/VMS)
then break; /* Siemens doesn't support Sockets */
endif
else OSI
if VAX/VMS
then break; /* Over X.25, or OSI Transport or OSI Session
If File Transfer is sufficient then VAX/FTSIE
or OSI FTAM */
else VAX/Ultrix
if (in Europe)
then break; /* X.25 with MESON */
endif
endif
endif
$wait +??:??:??.??
/* Phase V - HDLC, X.25, etc.*/
Hope that helps

85.2 | Maybe via OSAK ? | ZPOVC::SEOWHURN | | Mon Dec 03 1990 11:19 | 13 |
| From note 28.1, the table for VAX/VMS system states that VAX OSAK will
provide transparent task-to-task for a Siemens 7.500 running BS2000
with hardware LAN-Kanaladapter 9632-100 oder TRANSDATA 9688 (referring
to the ethernet controller card ?????) and software BS2000
Zugriffs-Method DCAM (BS2000 running DCAM ?????).
Does it mean that a program written with OSAK calls can talk to a
Siemens program with DCAM calls.
Is it the same for a Siemens 7.580 running BS2000 Version 8 or 9 ?
Thanks

85.3 | A solution from Integrata or Conware | MUDIS3::RBOEDEKER | | Mon Dec 03 1990 18:34 | 10 |
| The products MEPSIE and MEPOSIE from INTEGRATA support optional a
task-to-task communication interface via MVS1 or OSI network.
More details: see note 29
An other product comes from Conware called EMF97. They also offer a
task-to-task communication via a private protocol CNS (Conware Network
System).

85.4 | Now it's OSI - some details | BIKINI::DITE | PhaseV - Don't Worry! Be Happy... | Tue Dec 04 1990 10:50 | 27 |

What do you mean by OSAK? Do you mean the product (OSAK contains OSI Session
+ Session API and VOTS + Transport API) or a particular OSI-API?
Why, unless you want to program on BS2000, do you want know whether a
Siemens program use DCAM calls? Surely what you want to know is whether an
API is supported at a particular OSI level.
I hope this picture clarifies the situation:
DEC - VAX Siemens - BS2000
VMS V5.* (V7.5; V8.0; V9.0)
API----------- API-----------
5 OSAK V1.1 OSI Session OSS.2000 (BAS) V1.0A
API----------- API-----------
4 (VOTS)V2.0 OSI Transport DCAM DCAM V9.0B
----------- ----------- V9.1B
V9.9A
Hope that helps. Please give us more details of your problem/configuration
if that doesn't answer your question.

85.5 | SMTP ? | ZPOVC::SEOWHURN | | Tue Dec 04 1990 11:25 | 7 |

Re: -1
Thanks John, the diagram was what I was looking for, on the Siemens
side.
Another question - is SMTP supported on the BS2000 ?
|
85.6 | no SMTP | MUDIS3::RBOEDEKER | | Tue Dec 04 1990 14:36 | 3 |
| SMTP is not suppoprted by TCP-IP for BS2000 from Siemens.
