Hello!
I'm not the fellow here who's surrounded by DEC gear, but, ah, it's a
family of networking protocols used by that family to, ah,
communicate. People could send files to other systems, and naturally
get them back. They could also make use of an email idea. However it's
biggest use happened to be to facilitate remote diagnosis of unhappy
DEC systems.
We also should expect a response from the fellow as soon as a member
of his staff understands the email.
Fish? What's that green thing in your bowl? Oh right, the pottery
whatsit that's usually found inside fish bowls.

Hey!
I'm not familiar with DECNet. I'm looking at the possibility of using CTCA to allow the VM Backup program to talk to other copies of itself.
The idea being offsite backup or copies of backups.
This wouldn't work in a mixed real iron and Hercules, from what I can tell.

Hello!
I believe I originally proposed that sometime earlier. The idea was
that we'd each have our machines communicating over the Internet, and
sending and receiving files, and perhaps messages. Of course that one
is a bit more difficult. Oddly enough I first proposed this, well
before the Hobbyist DECNet project emerged, back when your wonderful
ideas on connecting the Hercules example to the outside world first
got launched.

I'm wondering is it possible to have
1) Two Hercules systems on the same Windows system
running VM and
2) Connect these two CMS users on each VM system via
a CTCA between these two Hercules systems?
Also:
Is it possible to have these two VM and Hercules systems
on different physical Windows or Linux systems connected
by a CTCA?
Yes to both.
If so, how? What should I read?
Start here:
*
As far as documentation describing actual CTCA functionality goes (i.e. how it works and how to use it), there are the following IBM reference manuals:
* GA22-6983-00 IBM System-370 Special Feature Description - Channel-to-Channel Adapter
* SA22-7091-01 ESA-390 (CTCA) Channel-to-Channel Adapter for the System-360 and System-370 I-O Interface
* SA22-7203-00 ESA-390 ESCON Channel-to-Channel Adapter
* SB10-7034-04 System z - ESCON and FICON Channel-to-Channel Reference
You might be able to find them on the web somewhere if you search hard enough. If you can't find them though, contact me off list and I'll send you a copy. I have them all.
