Yeah... I have neither of those, but at least I've seen a picture of a DECNA. > The other limitation is the software. DEC only supplied P/OS, RT-11, and > Ultrix (or was that some other Unix? Not DEC, but there was VENIX from VenturCom. I have VENIX 1.0 on a Pro350, and there was VENIX 2.0 for the Pro380. No idea about DECNA support in 2.0, but I have the (paper) manuals for 1.0 and there's no mention of it. I think a TCP stack might crush an F-11. You could run TCP/IP on a 2.11BSD system, but that required a Split I&D processor and that means a J-11 (or a larger Unibus box, in practice). -ethan
