We are installing a manufacturing system. We are faced with the following constraints: 1. Workstations are PS/2s running Windows 3/DOS. 2. Workstations participate in a Novell network. 3. Workstations are connected via IBM Token Ring. We want like these workstations to be able to use 3rd party X based application running on a Sun Workstation without loosing their current functionality and without changing our networks or installing new networks. I can think of some partial solutions (X over Token Ring, Portable Netware?, TR/Ether IP bridge, etc.) Does anyone know how to do this - in whole or in part? What would be involved? Per seat cost is not the greatest issue - functionality, flexibility and quality are. Thanks in advance.
