[comp.sys.mac] Networking Macintoshes

cathy@canisius.UUCP (Cathy Bacon) (07/29/89)

We are considering several alternatives for networking 35 Mac IIcx's, 25 of
which will be in a teaching lab.  We will also have about 75 IBMs running
on Novell v2.15 on a PS/Model 80 server.  Considering -

1.  Putting ethernet cards in the Macs and connecting them to the Novell 
    server.

2.  Phonenet or localtalk cabling and a gateway to connect to the Novell 
    server.

3.  Phonenet or localtalk cabling and a MacIIcx server .  Gateway to Novell.

If you have experience with these types of systems, especially in a 
classroom situation, I would appreciate hearing from you.  We are concerned
about 25 copies of PageMaker or Word starting at once - 
hohow long will this take?
We are also concerned in general.  

Please send replies to me directly.  If there is enough interest, I will
post a summary.
