<p dir="ltr">Thinking back to those times. The other battle within the office Dec v Unix camp was for the dominant terminal server protocol. Never put it to bed as so much invested in Dec lay devices. Bridge tcp/ip devices. So only one solution. Woolengong tcp/ip on the VAX systems and lat emulation on the sun servers.</p>

Agreed. 200 and 300 were/are great.<br>

How did the Decserver 700 compare against the others? Did it do telnet<br>
also?<br>

Hi, Alan.<br>
Good question. I've never seen one, so I can't say.<br>
