Sun Microsystems Inc yesterday rechristened its networking products the SunNet family and added five new products to it. SunNet Manager is a multi-function network management package for TCP/IP networks and looks after computers, bridges, network applications and services. SunNet License is a program for managing data collection for determining usage of licensed concurrent usage packages so that vendors and departments can charge for software on an actual usage basis. The FDDI-Dual Attach Controller, FDDI/DX is a VME board for users wanting to put their Sun workstations onto a Fibre Distributed Data Interface 100Mbps optical net. SunLink Channel Gateway is described as the first complete hardware and software combination for connecting Sun stations to IBM mainframes, enabling file interchange with 370-type machines using and to submit jobs and commands using the IBM Network Job Entry protocol, NJE. The High-speed Serial Interface is another VMS board to link to T-1 lines. The new SunNet line includes all the existing TCP/IP, Ethernet, X25 and other products, with Sun’s Open Network Computing products at its core. No prices. .pl 63
