We currently have a Novell network that's used by some of our techies and all of our administrators. We'd like to give them the ability to log into the Xenix box we have to read news, and also to bypass the rotten E-mail system that comes with Novell. What are our options for doing this cheaply? We already have Ethernet cards in all PC's on the net. Can TCP/IP coexist with Netware on the same media, or would we have to have a TCP/IP bridge coming out of the server to a separate network? We know about this latter option, but it's very pricey. Thanks in advance for any insight. -- Mark McWiggins UUCP: uunet!intek01!mark DISCLAIMER: I could be wrong.

If you use a combination of MICOM 5210 cards, Novell, and FTP software, there is a program that allows you to mix TCP applications with Netware. The software is what John refers to as a split driver and MICOM sells under the name of "TCP-WORKSTATION." It's soft of like shared DEUNA on a DECNET system. -Ron
