INFORMATION SHARING NETWORK
The Northeast Hazardous Waste Project has a responsibility to
provide a mechanism for the acquisition, tracking and dissemination of
Information among Its member agencies. In order to facilitate the
fulfillment of this responsibility, It has been recommended that the
automated support to this process be upgraded to meet the current and
future needs of the Project.
In Identifying the appropriate upgrade path the following current and
future needs were considered:
the ability to send and receive electronic messages between and
among the member agencies;
the ability to send and receive electronic documents between
and among the member agencies;
the ability to perform multiple criteria Inquiries of a shared
base of information through a controlled and secure environ-
ment;
the ability to enter information Into the shared Information
base through a controlled and secure environment;
the ability to manage the textual format of the shared Informa-
tion base In logical segments based upon member agency
requirements;
and the ability to share Information with other regional
hazardous waste enforcement and regulatory groups.
Based upon these requirements, the NEHW Project staff has had the
following graphical representations prepared for review by the Project
member agencies. In addition, a detailed hardware and software proposal
has been prepared by a prospective vendor at the request of the Project
staff for consideration by the Project members.

Scholar Modems
The DF224 Scholar modem is a low-profile desktop modem with external wall mount
power supply. It operates at 2400. 1200. and 300 bps full duplex over dial-up (PSTNl lines
The DF224 asynchronous and synchronous integral auto-dialer stores up to 15 telephone
numbers which may also be identified by an ID name of 6 characters or less. Phone
number linking capabilities are also provided The DF224 is designed for supporting
Digital and non-Digital, asynchronous or synchronous terminals, personal computers, and
workstation applications. The DF224-AA is compatible in operation to CCITT V.22bis.
CCITT V.22 and Bell 103/212A modems
The DF242-CA. DF212-CA. and DF124-CA/CM Scholar Plus modems bring many new-
features to the Digital Family of Modems. The Scholar Plus modems offer a unique
security feature to protect proprietary databases. MNP and X.PC error correction to
assure accurate data transfers, the industry standard "AT" command language, and the
simplified Digital Modem Command Language IDMCL) (VAX/VMS type commands)
One of four levels of security can be set1
1 Passw-ord Access — A predefined password must be keyed before the host system
is accessed.
2 Password and Callback — The password is predefined along with a telephone
number. The modem requests the password, and then disconnects The modem
recalls the telephone number associated with the password, and initiates a call to
the known number.
3 Password. Callback. Telephone Number Checked — The password and telephone
numbers are preset. The modem requests that the dial-in caller key in a passwoid
and callback phone number prior to disconnect and call back to the known location
4 Password. Request for Phone Number — The password is requested. The user can
then type an alternate phone number or the number assigned to that password as
the callback number. An audit trail of dial attempts is maintained, and the parame-
ter settings are secured by password to prevent unauthorized modifications.
Compatibility with the industry standard Hayes "AT" command language gets the expe-
rienced user up and running in a minimal amount of time: and DCHL makes it easy to set
parameters.
The autodial feature includes mixed dialing of up to 30 different linked numbers, local or
long distance. In the event of a busy or no answer signal, the linked number will be dialed.
An embedded speaker allows audible monitoring of call progress. Modem parameters are
stored in non-volatile memory and are not lost when powered off.
The DF124-CA (desktop enclosure) and the DF124-CM Irackmount) keeps the user in
touch by providing communication regardless of line conditions, over private (leased) lines
or the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTNl. The modem automatically switches from
a leased line to a standard telephone line if the modem finds interference on the private
line.

Terminal Communication Processors and Servers
Digital offers a full line of communications hardware for connecting its terminals to its
computer systems The traditional approach is to hardwire terminals to systems using
terminal interfaces.
Digital's Terminal Servers provide a more flexible and cost-effective approach for connect-
ing terminals to systems Terminal Servers are Ethernet-based communication servers
designed to logically connect asynchronous devices such as terminals, printers, modems.
and personal computers to one or more hosts on an Ethernet LAN Among the f>. 'ures of
Terminal Servers are- multiple session support, which allows users to establish -nultiple
sessions to one or several hosts, resulting in greater user productivity: and printer support
for VAX and Micro VAX systems, which provides the capability of sharing printers among
multiple users.

VAX VTX
Distributing Information Across the Enterprise
Meet the Challenge of Information Distribution
Getting the right information to the right people in the right place at the right time can be
the difference between success and failure in today's competitive environment. To win. you
need an information distribution method that allows you to effectively organize and
disseminate valuable information throughout your business enterprise.
At Digital, these challenges are being met daily with our business communications
tools — full-function electronic mail, videotex electronic information distribution, and com-
puter conferencing. Combined with our industry-leading networked products, these tools
provide electronic communications alternatives on a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-
many basis — for every department across any enterprise.
VAX VTX. Digital's industry-leading corporate videotex product for electronic information
distribution, is one such tool. With it. you can cost-effectively disperse complete, up-to-date
information in a variety of formats to large numbers of people throughout your enterprise
Using terminals or personal computers, individuals can have easy, convenient access to
information when they need it. The VAX VTX alternative to traditional hardcopy informa-
tion distribution methods eliminates many warehousing, printing, and delivery costs And
VAX VTX offers a truly distributed architecture that benefits people designated to provide
information as well as those who use it.
Highlights
Assists users in accessing information through menus, designated keywords.
and personal menus.
Can be integrated with Digital's industry-leading ALL-IN-1 office and infor-
mation system.
Provides a softcopy alternative to information distribution that eliminates
printing and related costs and helps prevent the use of outdated materials.
Includes VISTA, a new software tool for nontechnical individuals that sim-
plifies the tasks of designing, populating, building, and maintaining an info-
base.
Uses Digital's networking capabilities to allow information input and distribu-
tion from any point on the network to any other point on the network.
Includes support for IBM* 3270 data stream terminals, full-screen graphics
for VMS-based workstations, and Digital's DECtalk voice synthesizer.
With VAX VALU, Digital's VTX Application Link Utility, can link to applica-
tions such as electronic mail, transaction processing, and text-management
and database management systems, as well as to most custom applications.
Through VAX VALU, provides access to external applications over DECnet,
DECnet/SNA LU6.2 or X.25 packet switch and data networks.
-------
Take Advantage of the Efficient and Effective Distribution
Alternative
Too much information can never be available. But often no good way exists to find
organize and use information before it becomes obsolete.
With VAX VTX you not only can provide timely information distribution but also can offer
a system that helps individuals easily retrieve the information they need.
Softcopy in Contrast with Hardcopy Distribution
Consistent, up-to-date, information helps individuals perform most effectively However.
keeping hardcopy printed material current is extremely difficult. New information must be
collected, compiled, typed or typeset, and printed. Updated documents must then be
distributed and put into use by the people who receive them Often, problems arise because
some information becomes outdated even as it's being printed.
VAX VTX offers a softcopy alternative to hardcopy distribution Using an electronic
rather than paper form, and the flexibility of a distributed computer architecture. VAX
VTX helps you eliminate time-consuming hardcopy printing and distribution processes as
veil as many costs associated with printing, storage, distribution, and disposal of hardcopy
documents. VAX VTX also eliminates the need for reprinting large publications
Information providers can update published material instantly in electronic form, and thus
help prevent the use of outdated, obsolete, or inconsistent information.
The information itself can originate from many different locations on a computer network.
Therefore. VAX VTX can give individuals access to information from every department as
well as from external agencies and networks. This helps people spend less time looking for
the information they need and more time using it.
Many large, dynamic organizations already use VAX VTX. With it. these enterprises
maintain documents such as policy manuals. MIS reports, schedules, directories, product
specifications, price and parts lists, job postings, reference materials and process descrip-
tions, often involving thousands of pages of printed text and graphics. VAX VTX helps
you maintain information in the most up-to-date form possible— and achieve effective.
efficient distribution of documents to every person who needs them.
People Make More Use of Easily Accessible Information
Gathering information through VAX VTX is remarkably simple. Information located any-
where on the network can be included on an infobase. This means that individuals can
access and use a wealth of information previously unavailable or unattainable.
Also, because VAX VTX presents information as "published" pages rather than as data
records, end users can view information in an organized, categorized form. Users avoid a
great deal of sorting and sifting through information. And people get valuable information
faster and easier than they can when they use indexes and volumes of printed pages.
Greater accessibility does not mean, however, that the security of your information must
be compromised. VAX VTX protects information through facilities that limit access to
privileged information. Because of its distributed architecture. VAX VTX also brings infor-
mation to users without revealing the source of that information.
-------
Menus and Keyword Selection Help People Retrieve Information
Easily
Because they require no prerequisite training, individuals can begin using VAX VTX as
soon as they have system access.
Self-explanatory menus guide users through the system to the information they need
Keywords help users locate specific information even more quickly by allowing them to
browse from page to page without passing through menus. If a keyword refers to more
than one page on the infobase, VAX VTX creates a menu automatically to provide addi-
tional detail via menu options
For example, a sales representative frequently needs information about competitors. The
salesperson simply enters the keyword competition. The system can automatically refer to
any page that has competition as the designated keyword. If two or more pages are found.
the system can create a menu consisting of all matches for the keyword. The salesperson
can then make a selection based on whatever information is needed.
VISTA and VALU Help You Package Information for Delivery
Thus far we've discussed how VAX VTX can help individual users get information when
and where they need it Now we'll look at how VAX VTX is designed to simplify the
packaging of information as well— particularly when combined with Digital's VAX VALU
(VTX Application Link Utility).
Information Providers Reside at the Source of Information
To simplify information provision. VAX VTX includes the VTX Infobase Structure Tool
and Assister (VISTA) feature. With it. nontechnical individuals can design, build, populate.
and maintain a VTX infobase. Because of this. VISTA helps you distribute the task of
providing and updating information among responsible individuals throughout your enter-
prise. This helps to relieve pressure on central MIS resources.
VISTA employs a graphics-oriented, menu-driven user interface to simplify document
insertion. Users make corrections through fill-in-the-blank forms rather than by adjusting
lines of code. This eliminates the need for knowledge of file manipulation and command-
level programming And because VAX VTX is integrated with UTS-PLUS document
processing, users can create and transfer documents destined for a VAX VTX infobase in
WPS-PLUS format.
Also, because it simplifies the process of providing information. VISTA helps encourage
people in many business areas to begin using VAX VTX as a valuable source of informa-
tion distribution.
VAX VALU Saves Valuable Programming Time and Money
Digital's VTX Application Link Utilities (VALU) complements the information delivery-
capabilities of VAX VTX by enabling programmers to effect a two-way VTX service capa-
ble of collecting information from, and distributing information to individuals. VAX VALU
also enables VTX to process information and return the results. And VALU provides more
flexibility for connecting to other computer systems to make applications just a menu
-------
cnoice awav
An optional software package VAX V'ALU. contains three functional components- the
external link, the VTX application service, and the remote update server link.
The external link component provides subroutines necessary for systems-level program-
mers to write applications that connect VAX VTX users to Digital or other vendors'
applications and databases.
The VTX application service (VAS) component provides an easy-to-use set of tools for the
applications programmer to connect VAX VTX to applications running on Digital or other
vendors' systems. VAX VALU additionally supports DECnet/SNA VMS APPC/LU6.2
applications using Digital's DECnet SNA/Gateway and X.25 applications with VAX PSI
software. VAS helps reduce the time it takes to write applications, and can help control
development costs and increase programmer productivity'.
The remote update server link component allows programmers to create tailored informa-
tion pronder applications Through this link MIS can offer increased flexibility and func-
tion to information pro\iders.
VAX VALU opens VAX VTX to new and existing computer applications on both Digital
and non-Digital systems Thus, with VAX VALU. end-user applications that may have
been considered too costly or difficult are now possible And two-way communications for
VTX applications such as order-processing systems and interactive electronic bulletin
boards, are easy to implement
Only VAX VTX Has the Flexibility of a Distributed Architecture
VAX VTX is made up of three key components working together within a modular design
that allows you to distribute VAX \TX over multiple computer systems. The three compo-
nents that make up VAX VTX are the Terminal Control/Concentrator Program the
Infobase Server, and VISTA.
VISTA simplifies the task of providing information for many individuals in many different
departments The Infobase Server in a VAX VTX system manages and controls all infor-
mation requests placed on an infobase It provides security features that allow only author-
ized individuals to access sensitive information. And it contains all account control
information and tracking facilities.
The Terminal Control/Concentrator Program allows VAX VTX to accommodate a wide
range of terminals as delivery mechanisms. This means individuals can use in-place per-
sonal computers and computer terminals to access information from or supplv information
to a VAX VTX infobase.
t
This unique modular approach allows VAX VTX to accommodate multiple infobases in
different locations and any number of information sources, all of which appear as one
source to the end user. The distributed architecture of VAX VTX also provides the flexibil-
ity to accommodate a wide variety of input and output devices when used with appropriate
software. Besides increasing the variety of information that can be made available to
users, this helps reduce the burden on individual systems.
-------
Any component of the VAX VTX software can be situated on as few or as many processors
as desired Thus the system can grow and change in response to user and business needs
Also unlike conventional data-processing software that may not even provide the capabil-
ity of remote infobase access. VAX VTX requires no user knowledge of special commands
and syntax to gather information — regardless of where that information resides.
Add VTX as a Part of Your Plan
Implementing a VAX VTX system effectively does take planning However, because VAX
VTX requires no dedicated computer or specialized terminals, you'll probably find you
already have many of the pieces you need in place.
VAX VTX can be accessed through almost any terminal or personal computer, including
IBM* personal computers and 3270 data stream terminals Also, VAX VTX can be inte-
grated with Digital's ALL-IN-1 premier office and information system. ALL-IN-1 sim-
plifies office tasks by providing individuals with consistent menus for office tools such as
word processing, electronic mail, and VAX VTX. Through ALL-IN-1. people can work with
VAX \TX as part of their daily routine to gather competitive information, product docu-
mentation, or market intelligence from both inside and outside sources. ALL-IN-1 also
allows individuals to transfer information directly from a VAX VTX infobase to ALL-IN-1
files for inclusion in reports, memos. presentations, or electronic mail.
In addition. VAX VTX fits well with planned or in-place networks— including equipment
from both Digital and other vendors This helps you protect your investments in com-
puters you already own by eliminating the need to replace them Also, because one VAX
VTX infobase can service people in many geographic locations, you don't need to relocate
computer hardware to accommodate a VAX VTX installation.
Once it is running. VAX VTX requires little or no system maintenance by an MIS staff
And VAX VTX places minimal demand on computer and network resources. As a result.
VAX VTX offers noticeable improvements in information distribution without upsetting
business operations. Installation can be accomplished quickly, and the system can be in
use within a few weeks. You can put access terminals anywhere you need them— on
desktops or in lobbies. And you can assign responsibility for updates and inputs to w horn-
ever is responsible for information— rather than to remote MIS resources

VAX VALU
VAX VALU (VTX Application Link Utilitiesl is an extension product for VAX VTX (Ver-
sion 2 1 or later), which provides the means of attaching one or more applications to a
VAX VTX distributed videotex system. VALU also allows for customer changes to the
Terminal Specific Modules, which can be linked into the VAX VTX Terminal Control
Program. VAX VALU contains four functional components, which are used to solve appli-
cation problems for the customer:
• External Link Interface (ELK)
• VTX Application Service (VAS)
• Remote Update Server Link (RUSL)
• Terminal Specific Modules (TSMI
The External Link Interface (ELK) is an object library of callable routines that provide for

in many different departments. The
Infobase Server in a VAX YTX sv^tem
manages and controls all information
requests placed on an infobase. It pro-
vides security features that allow onlv
authorized individuals to access sensi-
tive information. And it contains ail
account control information and
tracking facilities.
The Terminal Control Concentrator
Program allows VAX VTX to accom-
modate a wide range of terminals as
delivery mechanisms. This means
individuals can use m-place personal
computers and computer terminals
to access information from or supplv
information to a VAX VTX infobase
-------
This unique modular approach allows
V.'vX VTX co accommodate Tv-lr^'s:
:ntebases in dittereru locations ana
.inv number or information, ^ources.
ail of which appear as one source to
•he end user The distributed architec-
:ure or VAX VTX also provides the
flexibility to accommodate a '.vide
variety or input and output devices
when used with appropriate sorrware.
Besides increasing the variety or' intor-
mation that can be made available co
users, this helps reduce the burden on
individual systems.
Any component or the VAX VTX
software can be situated on as tew or
as many processors as desired. Thus
the system can grow and change in
response to user and business needs.
Also, unlike conventional data-
processing sotnvare that may not even
provide the capability ot remote into-
base access. VAX VTX requires no
user knowledge ot special commands
and syntax to gather information -
regardless ot where that information
resides.
Add VTX as a Part of Your Plan
Implementing a VAX VTX system
effectively ioes take planning. How-
ever, because VAX VTX requires no
dedicated computer or specialized
terminals, you'll probably find you
already have many of the pieces you
need in place.
VAX VTX can be accessed through
almost any terminal or personal
computer, including IBM ' personal
computers and 3270 data stream
terminals. .Also, VAX VTX can be inte-
grated with Digital's ALL-IN-1 pre-
mier office and information system.
ALL-IN-1 simplifies office tasks by
providing individuals with consistent
menus tor office tools such as word
processing, electronic mad. and VAX
VTX. Through ALL-IN-1, people can
work with VAX VTX as part of their
daily routine to gather competitive
information, product documentation.
or market intelligence from both
inside and outside sources. ALL-IN-1
also allows individuals to transfer
information directly from a VAX VTX
mfobase to ALL-IN-1 files tor inclu-
sion in reports, memos. presentations,
or electronic mail.
In addition, VAX VTX tits well with
planned or m-place networks -
including equipment trom both
Digital and other vendors. This helps
you protect your investments in com-
puters you already own by eliminat-
ing the need to replace them. Also,
because one VAX VTX infobase can
service people in many geographic
locations, you don't need to relocate
computer hardware to accommodate
a VAX VTX installation.
Once it is running, VAX VTX requires
little or no system maintenance by an
MIS staff. And VAX VTX places mini-
mal demand on computer and net-
work resources. As a result, '.'AX VTX
otters noticeable improvements in
information distribution without
upsetting business operations. Instal-
lation can be accomplished quickly.
and the system can be in use within a
tew weeks. You can put access termi-
nals anywhere you need them -on
desktops or in lobbies. And you can
assign responsibility tor updates ar.d
inputs to whomever is responsible tor
information- rather than to remote
MIS resources

Electronic mail services are the backbone of an enterpnsewide communicjtioni
network Digital Equipment Corporation is a world leader when it comes to
internationally compliant, high-performance electronic messaging Electronic
mail services can exist at several levels of sophistication within your organization
Enterprises often need a low-cost base of fundamental messaging serv ices -
electronic mail and document processing -that's powerful enough to meet cur-
rent needs, convenient to use, and flexible enough for easy integration into other
functions in the tuture For instance, a companv or department is in an orhte
automation start-up mode, and requires low cost and low svstem management
Digital's ALL-IN-1 STARTER can fill both these requirements
ALL-IN- 1 STARTER uses the same electronic mail, document processing, and rile
management services as the full-function ALL IN- 1 integrated otfice jnd infor-
mation environment It's the ideal solution for organizations, or departments

Powerful 52-bit VAX Computing Jt an Office System Price
VAX family compatibility, combined with networked communications, has
changed organizational computing forever. Digital puts computer resources
closer to the people that need them. Micro VAX 2000 puts these resources right in
your office. It provides an ideal small VAX for starting or optimizing an invest-
ment in distributed computing.
If you already own MS-DOS" desktop PCs, MicroVAX 2000 can integrate all or
them into one networked environment. Turn individual computer users into a
closely linked, productive team. If you already own a VAX computer system.
Micro VAX 2000 will run your existing applications without change. Or if you're
considering a first computer purchase, think about the kind of return you want
on your investment. MicroVAX 2000 delivers much more than high performance
for an entry-level price. It also delivers Digital's commitment to VAX compatibil-
ity. And Digital's unsurpassed networking technology for communicating infor-
mation from system to system around the company, around the world.
As a stand-alone system MicroVAX 2000 can support a work group or small
department. But MicroVAX 2000 doesn't have to stay small. Expansion options
and networking provide unrivaled growth potential. One MicroVAX 2000 in a
Local Area VAXcluster or local area network can provide access to users any-
where on the cluster or network. Other computers in this price range just can't
compare.

A Local Area VAXcluster optimizes
your computing resources bv uniting

tems into a single local computing envi-
ronment Unlike an ordinary LAN, the
Local Area VAXcluster enables data
and applications to be stored centrally
on a "boot node" and shared by all
satellite computers on the network
To the user, the entire Local Area
VAXcluster functions as a single com-
puter system Data integration and

because only one copy of the data
exists Local Area VAXclusters are
easy to use, too The system manage-
ment tasks that stand-alone comput-

VAX Architecture in a Supermicro Package
VAX Power .\nv\\here You \Vant It
If you've been looking tor more computer power in less space, try Micro VAX II
for size. It's bringing VAX performance out of the computer room and into the
office, the laboratory, the work group, the warehouse, the store. Just about any-
where you've wanted concentrated processing power, you can now place a full-
fledged VAX minicomputer. You can put the standard-bearer for today's 32-bit
machines within reach of your desk at a cost-per-user equivalent to that of a PC
Digital's advanced VLSI engineering and manufacturing technologies have put a
VAX CPU on a microchip and packaged it in three compact ways. The BA23 and
BA123 MicroVAX systems fit easily into the office- in fact, the small BA23 fits
under your desk. The BA123 is larger-to accommodate as much as 477 Mbytes
of storage. For even greater requirements, you can choose a MicroVAX II cabinet
system. It provides up to 2 Gbytes of storage and tits in computer rooms and
most laboratories.
A new MicroVAX II goes to work the day it arrives. Installation is simple, and the
office packaging eliminates the need for special site requirements. If you already-
own a VAX computer, you can run the same applications on a new MicroVAX II
immediately. If MicroVAX II is your first VAX, take your pick from thousands of
time-tested applications already developed for the VAX family.
Use MicroVAX II as a complete stand-alone system or let it optimize your distrib-
uted computer resources. Digital's commitment to compatibility and networking
supports your style of computing, from the individual desktop to the company-
wide, worldwide computer network.

Send PC data back and torth benieen
systems on the LAN jhjre disks,
peripherals, and e^en integrate PC
data into VMS-based repori programs
[f your networking wish list includes
work group support with centralized
data storage and system management
-and shared access to computing
resources - try MicroVAX [I in a Local
Area VAXcluster Local Area VAX-
clusters are based on Digital's ad-
vanced VAXcluster technology, but
they've been optimized to support
work groups, using up to 28 systems
based on the MicroVAX and VAX-
station With a Local Area VAXcluster
you get the advantages ot shared re-
sources along with the service of a boot
node to provide dynamic load balanc-
ing of resources across the cluster A
Local Area VAXcluster turns multiple
small systems into a single comput-
ing environment that can provide ac-
cess to hundreds of users MicroVAX II
is powerful enough to serve as the boot
node, or manager, for an entire cluster
