None. We either had a two-board Unibus set that provided an
intellegent DDCMP connection (forget the model number, but *boy*
were they expensive when they first came out) or we used the sync
port on a DMF-32 - "cheap" (since all of our 11/730s and 11/750s
had one anyway), but it was hard on the CPU. We did have some
old Qbus sync ports (DPV11?), but we never attached a MicroVAX
to our point-to-point DDCMP network. We used async ports and Kermit
along with our own HASP boards for file transfer.
As for remote diag consoles, I have never worked directly with them,
nor have I seen any docs. I didn't even know that the 6000-line
used a flavor of DDCMP.
