Last week I got a look at a DG Aviion system running portable Netware. Personally I was pretty impressed. Everything was just like a regular 2.15 system on a PC. With the new DG AOS 4.30 the PC's will be able to run a terminal emulation program and telenet onto the unix side, while still running a PC IPX/SPX session. They, the DG people, say that it's not possible to run a DOS emulator in a unix session to hook into the netware. Ideally it would be nice to take advantage of something like that. Although they said w/ the proper security either side could access each others files. To my knowledge no other vendors have released portable netware, does anyone know otherwise? Anyone have any comments. One thing I was interested in doing was to somehow let the unix people take advantage of a Novell SNA gateway. The DG people suggested putting in a one of their gateways, oh well. Tom Vandenberg {..uunet..uwvax!uwmcsd1..}!marque!studsys!vanden vanden%studsys@marque.UUCP {..uwvax..arpa..}!studsys.mu.edu!vanden
