Vax to Vax

Digital Equipment's VAX minicomputers are inherently networkable machines. Connecting VAX's to one another is a viable option for increasing overall computing power at virtually any VAX site. Through the use of case studies, specific examples and state-of-the-art networking techniques, this practical guide shows readers how to make any networked VAX environment into a more efficient, powerful and maintainable computing system. The text discusses all topics relevant to VAX connectivity, including hardware, firmware and software issues. It provides readers with VAX connection protocols and standards; system security; error checking and correction and system utilities.
