4DDN allows an IRIS(R) workstation to integrate into a DECnet network and function as a DECnet Phase IV compatible end-node. 4DDN includes standard DECnet functions such as file transfer, remote directory listing, task-to-task communications, and virtual terminal support. It allows simultaneous access to TCP/IP and DECnet over the same Ethernet interface.
In addition, 4DDN provides mail integration between 4DDN nodes and VAX(tm) nodes, spooling support and remote file submission, and execution. It also provides standard commands for network management using Network Control Program (NCP).
