I am looking for hardware recommendations for creating a NetWare network including machines at two distinct locations. Assume that some sort of leased line is used to connect the two locations, and that at each site there is ethernet. At one location would be a file server. What would be examples of hardware used to connect to, say, a 56Kb line? Gary Chapman, New York University chapman@nyu.edu

Novell (and I!) recommend not running this on a server and instead dedicate a PC to the bridging function. From there, you simply hook your modem up to the PC and away you go. 56kb might be rough without a smart I/O coprocessor but definitely doable. John -- John De Armond, WD4OQC | Manual? ...
