Whoops! I didn't think I implied that it was a bitch. I sure didn't
mean to if I did.
I thought I said that it should be no harder than running mixed Suns
on the same ethernet: i.e., that the hardest thing this adds is making
sure that the NFS clients get the binaries they want. Is that about
right, Bob?
On the other hand, at one point we asked Sun for something, and they
effectively tolds us "See Figure 1." This resulted in us running Sun
3.2 binaries on 3.0 clients. That reference may have made it seem like
it was a bitch. Running out-of-version binaries is *not* a good thing
to do, and easy to avoid so long as you don't ask Sun to fix
something.

Hi... Rutgers just got its new 2000 with a bridge card... I would like to put it on our ethernet, but I dont thing I can get the $$$ for a amiga specific ethernet card. Since we have lots of IBM pc ethernet cards sitting around, I was wondering if it is possible to hook up the amiga via the PC card. If this is not possible what choices are there for ethernet for the amiga. Please tell me of any experience and comments about venders and their products. I would specificly like AmigaNFS and the standard telnet/ftp stuff. I have SLIP, but find it unreliable over 9600 buad... and it does not have all the features that I want anyway... Thanks... /Bob -- mende@aramis.rutgers.edu rutgers!aramis.rutgers.edu!mende mende@zodiac.bitnet four score and seven microseconds ago, a electron printed one of these characters, a brownie point to the first person who guesses which one.
