TCP/IP Services EAK for IPsec or Multinet 5.2

[Richard J Maher]

Hi

Does anyone know the state of play with the Early Adopters Kit (EAK) for
IPsec with TCP/IP Services? My understanding is that TCP/IP Development were
floundering to such an extent that they couldn't deliver for VMS 8.3, but
that they'll all come up from the beach again soon and we won't have to wait
for 8.next to get IPsec. Is that correct?

The HP road maps I see say early next year; is that still the case? Will
that version have "Automatic Key Exchange"? or will it rely on Static Keys
or Pre-Shared Secrets? The client base is gagging for this! You missed 8.3;
you are woefully late! What the hell are you doing?

Does it work with Windows? Can I secure the Transaction Internet Protocol
pipe between MSDTC and hotTIP???

What about multinet? Last I heard, Richard Whalen from Process Software was
working on a 5.2 release that was aiming at Automatic Key Exchange. I think
I saw some sort of webinar announcment about 5.2, is that correct? Is there
an ETA? (For those who don't know, Multinet already supports IPsec on VMS!
But only will Static Keys)
