Re: [foxboro] ArchestrA related question

We have a similar situation. The local Foxboro rep said we need to upgrade
entire system to a new version (7?) to have a Solaris 8 based station. We
run on version 6.1. If someone gets more information, please share with us
here.

Subject: [foxboro] ArchestrA related question


I haven't seen any traffic in the last week, I hope this forum is still
up.

I'm seeking input on replacing two dual headed "B" boxes workstations in
January when funds are available.

Should we go with the new and improved ethernet XP platforms?
Should we go with the next generation of Sun platform on ethernet?
Should we stay with the nodebus only, and upgrade the "B" boxes to "D"?

At the Orlando conference, I understood that after January, Foxboro won't
be shipping "D" boxes for new installations.  They will supply the new Sun
platforms running Solaris 8 that replace the "D" box.

We have a small I/A system, municipal water treatment, running  V6.1.2
with two "E" hosts, one "D" workstation and 2 "B" dual head workstations.

Thanks in advance for any input.
