I'm working on a connectivity proposal for some new facilities. Current workstations are about 35% Mac and 65% DOS. There is a need for continued access to Appleshare servers to support and configure student computing facilities. However, I anticipate that most administrative data will be on a NetWare/286 server running Mac VAP. I have never seen or used Mac VAP. Is it possible for a Mac workstation to have simultaneous access to both the Mac server running Appleshare *AND* the NetWare server running Mac VAP? If so, is there anything special I need to know about this configuration? On the other side of the coin, is there any way for a DOS workstation to access both the NetWare and Appleshare servers? Mac connectivity is a new frontier for me. Any experience you can share will be most welcome. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Medici/SysProg3 * Rutgers University/CS-USG * medici@elbereth.rutgers.edu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If so, is there anything >special I need to know about this configuration? Yes, you can have the NetWare server and the Appleshare server both on the desktop. I even put a 3-Com server on the desktop at the same time. I can easily copy files from any server to any other server as well as my local drive. >On the other side of the coin, is there any way for a DOS workstation to >access both the NetWare and Appleshare servers? I don't think so, however the DOS workstation can send postscript files to a LaserWriter on the Appleshare side. >Mac connectivity is a new frontier for me.

VAPS require extra memory in the NetWare server, so don't cut it close due to processes running on the server. -- rick@lrark.UUCP * bang path --> uunet!ddi1!lrark!rick * Ricky Mobley * LRTUG (501) 224-9454 * 1800 Sanford Dr. #4 * GEnie Unix RT SysOp address LRARK * Little Rock, AR 72207 * WB5FDP.AR.USA.NA wb5fdp.ampr.org *
