803.0. "ASYNC DECNET support?" by DEKVC::JUNGYULBAEK () Mon Mar 17 1997 02:12

hi,

One of our customer ,korea stock exchange,uses WANrouter250 with PATHWORK
and RTR as follows.

           HOST
             |     |
------------------------------------------------------------
      |    ..... ...               |
  WANROUTER 250  
   ||||||
MODEM

  |leased line
  |
MODEM
  | speed=9600 ASYNC
  |
PC COMPORT

As number of  pc increaed, they bought Routeabout central EW/MP because
 WANrouter250 is out of sales items. 

Is it possible to connect PC comport,they should use ASYNC PATHWORK with RTR.
It have  8 sync  serial port,but i wonder if it support ASYNC DECNET.

  Thanks for your reply.
  regards,

The RouteAbouts  do not support any form of Async connection.  Even if there
was  demand  for  async connections and we had the resources, I suspect we'd
only  do  async PPP.  There is very little (zero) chance we'd do async DDCMP
on  the  RAs!.   However,  as  always, if your customer has lots (& lots) of
money to spend then I guess we'd consider adding DDCMP support. 

There must be other solutions available?.

As far as I know the only devices that do async DDCMP are:

	DECNIS
	WANrouter 90/250

But the  250  is  in  the  process of being retired.  What about some of the
Access (terminal server) products, do they not do async DDCMP?.

Sorry,

    You only missed the WANrouter 150...
    
    That's it, as far as I know.  Unless CEIBA did async?  Anyone remember
    CEIBA (Etherworks router)?
803.5No I didn't :-)mgb.rkg.dec.com::GILLOTTMark Gillott, 831-3172 (rkg)Wed Mar 26 1997 04:115

I think we dropped support for the 150 about 2 years ago!.
