Can anyone recommend the software for the following setup. 386/25 running ESIX or 386/ix needs to be networked with several DOS bases engines. Need suggestions on how to accomplish such a set up. Especially on the DOS side. Is PC-NFS available???? Anything??? Anyone??? Thanks, Ed.

Sun sells PC-NFS; Haven't used it to know how good it is.

PC-NFS works pretty well (it does take up something lik 80 - 100 K of memory on the pc's though). I have heard good words about PC-Interface (the server for which is included in 386/ix), so you might want to check it out also. -- Conor P.

There's another option, folks. It's called Microsoft LAN Manager. Last week I installed HP's version of this, connecting MS-DOS based PC's with an HP9000 HP-UX (UNIX) box. It provides similar functionality to PC-NFS, i.e. the ability to treat UNIX subdirectories as DOS drives (e.g. D:). It also supports print spooling redirection of LPT1: to the UNIX printer of your choice. On the plus side, it means you don't have to buy PC-NFS or UNIX NFS. It has quite strong security features, with either user-level or share- level security. The spooling is quite nice too. It runs on MS-DOS, OS/2, HP-UX and SCO UNIX, and the documentation is up to HP's usual high standards. On the minus side, you really have to buy ARPA services for MS-DOS in order to get ftp, telnet, remsh and rcp. -- Paul Gillingwater, paul@actrix.co.nz
