A Local Computer Network Implementation Using Ethernet.

Abstract

An Ethernet is used to connect an HP 3000 computer with a VAX 11/780 computer to allow the transfer of files from one computer to the other. A user logs in on the VAX computers and uses a one-line command to send a file to or retrieve a file from the HP 3000 computer. Files are transferred between the user's directory on the VAX and either a specified directory or a public network directory on the HP 3000. The file transfer system uses a scheme of positive acknowledgement with retransmission to prevent transmission errors from corrupting the file. (Author)
