Hello, I am using dedicated VAX/VMS network running DECNET having VAX as server & Alpha stations. I want to access this network from windows to copy files to windows, view log files. I could access Alpha station through serial port. Is there any way to access nework without affecting VAX/VMS network. Waiting for your comments. Thanks in advance Anand

You are verry vague in describing Your envrironment: VMS versions ? All VMS in a cluster ? LAN or WAN connectivity between VMS and PC world ? Dwepending on that, please have a look into HP VMS network overview site: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/network/n... There are 3 main possibilities: 1. Pathwork/Advanced server (not recommended for future systems). 2. Samba/ CIFS: serves VMS volumes as PC network drives in a TCP/IP network 3. NFS : serve VMS disks to TCP/IP networks, needs NFS software on windows side. Joseph Huber, http://www.huber-joseph.de
