Is anyone using a 3b or other unix box as a starlan server
for msdos machines? AT&T sells 6300+ as a server, but it isn't
clear how much a unix box to do the same would gain: uucp, other
unix utilities in terminal mode from a pc, I suppose. Is there
a pc-networking discussion on usenet?

Is there >a pc-networking discussion on usenet? There is a package available for the 3B under SVr3 only that allows it to be used as a server under Starlan. Given the slow penetration of V.3 and the scarcity of Starlan cards for the 3B line, I have not heard any usage reports.

Just to set the record straight, there is no longer a scarcity of 3B2 STARLAN NAU cards. The short supply problem only effected the first few months of availibility (Sept-Oct 1986). Chris Donahue AT&T Info. Sys. - DSD Customer Systems Engineering
