COMMUNICATIONS APPLIED COMPUTER SOLUTIONS Application: Communications Product Name: BreakThrough Description: BreakThrough transfers data to and from DG computers with 100 percent accuracy. It communicates using XModem protocol, available on many micros and minis. Features include modem dialing, menu or command line control, binary or text file transfer, changeable line terminator and interrupt recovery. Under AOS/[VS] file transfer can be controlled completely from an intelligent terminal. A batch control utility is available with a script language. BreakThrough uses standard asynchronous serial ports. ACS also offers PC communications software with a D-200 emulator. Both the DG and PC software are written in Assembler for optimum speed. Price: PC: $99; DG: $195 plus CPU: DG/One, Dasher/One, Dasher/286, Desktop, MicroNova, Nova, MicroEclipse, Eclipse, MV/Family, Nova compatible, Eclipse compatible Operating Systems: DOS, RDOS, AOS, AOS/WS, AOS/VS, MS-DOS, CP/M, CP/M-86, ICOS Languages: Assembly Reference Number: 632 Telephone: (505) 434-0206 CLAFLIN & CLAYTON, INC. Application: Communications/networking Product Name: TCP/IP Ethernet Network Software Description: TCP/IP Network Software allows RDOS, AOS and AOS/VS systems to be interconnected via Ethernet, as well as connecting to most other vendor's systems. The products include FTP for file transfer, TELNET for remote logon (including VT100 support) and SMTP for electronic mail. This allows IBM, DEC, Sun, Apollo, AT&T and many other vendors' systems to network with Data General systems.

BLAST has two main functions: error-free file transfer and terminal emulation. BLAST's 100 percent error-free capability makes it easy to distribute both text and binary files between different computers regardless of their operating systems. BLAST's terminal functions can be used to allow PC and minicomputers to emulate terminals, upload and capture text files from online databases or other computers not equipped with BLAST. The powerful script language makes it easy to automate frequently used functions, create custom menus and integrate BLAST into applications. Price: Micros: $250; Minis: $495-$895; Mainframes: $1,295 plus CPU: DG/One, Desktop, Eclipse, MV/Family Operating Systems: MS-DOS, RDOS, AOS, AOS/VS, VMS, UNIX, XENIX, RT-11, TSX+, MAC, RTE, MPE, MVS/TSO, VM/CMS, CPM, PRIMOS, BTOS, CTOS, SCO Languages: FORTRAN, C Reference Number: 205 Contact: BLAST Sales Dept. Telephone: (800) 24-BLAST, (504) 923-0888 DACOR COMPUTER SYSTEMS Application: Terminal emulator Product NAme: Dterm Description: Dterm is a unique terminal emulator with versions for both IBM/PC and compatibles and the Apple MacIntosh with standardized host control features for both. It is designed to help merge the two worlds of personal and mainframe computers to take advantage of what each has to offer. Host-activated control features include file upload, file download, and printer passthrough. CLI macro examples included. These commands provide a means of closely integrating applications with the power available in the PC. Dterm is MultiFinder friendly, allowing file transfers in the background.

SOFTWARE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES DIVISION Application: Communications Product Name: AOS/VS Unattended RJE80 Description: AOS/VS Unattended RJE80 emulates the IBM 2780 and 3780 Remote Job Entry terminals. Without operator assistance, Unattended RJE80 allows file transfer between a local Data General system and a remote Data General installation or a remote site that supports IBM 2780/3780 RJE terminals. Unattended RJE80 can automatically dial a remote site, transfer files, receive files and write output to a logfile for later viewing--all without the presence of an operator.
