The DEC system I know about was called DECNET.

I remember an amazing set of meetings at Unisys post-merger, when the suits came
to realize that the only way Sperry and Burroughs mainframes could talk to each
other (in order to consolidate financial figures, what else) was to use IBM's
SNA. The horror.
So an emergency meeting was called to see how quickly both divisions could
implement IP.
Sperry OS/2200 had one solution - get a channel adapter from a third party.
Burroughs MCP had a rather different one - change a few lines of code in the
compilers so that they would recognize IP/TCP/UDP verbs -- the foundation was
already there.
And they lived unhappily ever after, the #3 and #4 makers soon becoming #34.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
