| Without knowing what sort of protocols the NEC machine supports, it's
going to be difficult to provide additional information.
However, in general, it comes down to two choices: OSI or TCP/IP
Many vendors support both protocol stacks, and it may be even more likely
in the pacific rim that OSI would be the protocol of choice.
DEC OSF/1 offers both options. For additional information on DECnet/OSI
for OSF/1, I would suggest the conference on NOTED::DNU_OSI

Broto,
I don't know ACOS1520.
If the OS is ACOS4, we usually use TCP/IP for file transfer and
SNA for terminal emulation in Japan.
If you don't need terminal emulation of ACOS, you should use
TCP/IP(FTP) because SNA products on ACOS are NOT a formal products
in NEC. If customers request SNA strongly, NEC uses SNA. And those
SNA products are NOT popular in NEC. Most of Japanese users and
NEC people don't know them.
And remember ACOS is NOT an IBM euivalent computer. So ACOS's SNA
products are emulators of SNA. This measn there are some restrictions.
In Japan, I know 3 installed based where Digital's SNA Gateway
products are used.
