I am interested is setting up a LAN using a Sperry IT as the central
server and a variety of micros (including Radio Shack Model 100's and
other assorted PC-clones). The IT is capable of handling up to 8
remote devices by means of serial ports. What I need is some advice
on the software to run this network. Basicallly, I want to share
files, facilities (e.g. printers, etc); and to pass messages back and
forth amongst the nodes on the network. Such software as LanLink seems
to provide the resource sharing capability; but not the message
passing. I realize that Xenix would provide most of what I need, but I
require MS DOS applications, e. g., Framework, to run in a shared
environment.
I have heard that Concurrent DOS may be the answer - but I can't seem
to find a source of info on this product.
Does anyone out there have experience setting up such a network as
described? I'd be willing to summarize responses if there's a
demand.
