Hai NetLANd, I 'm looking for some suggestions and remarks, and not in the last place experienced people who can help me to solve some questions. I 'm responsable for implementing a new lan in a brandnew hightech building, and before I start investing $$, I'll wait for some answers. We run 5 uVaxes (Ultrix 1.2 and 2.0) and soon a 8700 will show-up also running Ultrix 2.0. For the rest we have about 50 IBM-PC/AT's (ms-dos). And in a while I think we're having some SUN-workstations (unix) also. So, I want to connect all of it with an ethercable and just run TCP/IP and (if possible) sun-nfs over the network. I heard Ultrix 2.0 has nfs implemented allready, and TCP is running also here. The SUN environment I think has no problem using nfs and TCP. And using IBM-PC/AT's in an TCP-environment is possible, and something called PC-nfs should allow (partly) nfs. Is there somebody in netland who is running a similar configuration and will share his expirience with me about this approach. I'm also also interested in names of manufacturers and types of the used hardware in the PC's. Who knows something about available software packages to run TCP and nfs? Which versions? -ron -- sorry folks, no funny things yet. Ron Werther, ASiC, Nijmegen, The nETHERLANds ..mcvax!asic001!ron
