Could someone let be know the status of the NETBIOS over TCP/IP working group, and how to contact them? I last saw a reference to this group late last year. Also has anyone linked a decent PC LAN, such as Novell Netware, to a Unix computer as a file-server, or know of any such planned links? All that I have heard so far suggests that the Novell and 3Com software can co-exist with TCP/IP for TELNET and FTP but thats it. Is there nothing better and more integrated out there? thanks -- ARPA: michael%labtam.oz@seismo.css.gov ACSnet: michael@labtam.oz UUCP: seismo!munnari!labtam.oz!michael CSNET: michael@labtam.oz JANET: labtam.oz!michael@ukc D

[] This is not a commercial advertisement. Please omit any flames. In response to two recent requests I post the following information. Micom - Interlan is currentl in joint development with Novell on a TCP gateway between a Netware fileserver and the TCP internet. The initial release of the product is tied to Netware Version 2.1, which Novell is aiming to ship sometime this summer. This is an integrated gateway, an intelligent card resides in the file server and talks TCP, while application programs, initially ifconfig, hostname, ftp, telnet, route, netstat, and some rutils; are executed on the workstations. There will also be a Bsd 4.2 socket library which application programs on the workstations can use to access the TCP network. For more information, price performance and availability, etc, the person to contact is Dave Williams, Director of End User marketing. For more technical information, I am your best bet.
