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.
