I'd like to hear from anyone may be aware of a connection(bridge) between a pc based novell to a data general eclipse mini. I'm interested in bridging the two, however i've not aware if this is possible. ......a209guer@zero.cdf.utoronto.ca

Yup - in fact, I'm using a Novell PC to go to a DG Mini now.
There are two reasonable options that I am aware of :
1) Wait for the Portable Netware port to AOS/VS. This is currently being
done by a VAR - Rational Data Systems (818-568-9991). Last I heard,
there was some delay and release is now schedule for sometime around the
end of the year.
2) Put TCP/IP on your PC. I'm not really sure if AOS/VS II is required
on the host - ask your DG sales rep about that. In any case, I currently
use FTP S/W's (617-246-0900) PC/TCP package on the PC. There are a couple
of ways to make the TCP/IP and IPX/SPX protocol stacks coexist :
use the Clarkson Packet Drivers and BYU IPX Shell to multiplex stacks
to a single driver, or use MARK/RELEASE to load/unload Novell and
PC/TCP software as needed. I have recently written a paper about this -
the draft has been submitted for publication. It basically ties
all the pieces of available info together. Let me know if you want a
copy of the draft.
