[comp.dcom.lans] Switch from netware 2.15a to lantastic 3.03

pcb@basin04.cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (03/23/91)

Well, after 2 years of running netware on ps/2 70s with 80's as servers,
I am about to set up a new lab.  They consists of compuad 386sx's with
wd boards.  I have been urged by several other net managers to use
lantastic: 'it's reliable, cheaper, easier to install, and performs
the same functions as netware'
hmmmmm.... 20+ disks vs. 1  ??? I am skeptical.

I don't use disk mirroring...Do you think I should switch?

One thing I am not sure of: my current clients run packet drivers
so that ipx and tcp are simultaneously under windows 3.0..  I wonder
if this is possible with lantastic?
