VMS Software, Inc. (VSI) is pleased to announce release of commercial version X6.0-22A for VSI TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS for Alpha and Integrity.
The VSI TCP/IP Services is the VSI implementation of the TCP/IP networking protocol suite and internet services for OpenVMS. VSI TCP/IP Services X6.0 provides a comprehensive suite of functions and applications that support industry-standard protocols for heterogeneous network communications and resource sharing.
This release marks completion of the customer field test for Alpha, and therefore VMS Software considers the product to be ready for commercial use. For Integrity, this is an update over the previous commercial release which was based on SSL111.
