I'm probably getting a 386 based UNIX system yet (I haven't figured out
which one to buy yet... Possibly ESIX... Maybe SCO UNIX 386) and would
like to connect it to an existing 16 mbps token ring network using
Novell's Advanced Netware software.
I'd like to hear from anyone who has any experience with connecting a 386
based UNIX box to a Novell token-ring network.... Thanks..todd

Thanks..todd > -- > Todd Ogasawara, U. of Hawaii I have a question on similar lines? Q: Is is possibvle to have two Unix 386s connected over a token ring network. What Unix should I use, and what are the potential problems? Does ISC 2.2 TCP/IP and NFS work on Token-ring networks? Q2: Can a token ringed Novell network coexist with Unix or should Novell be removed while installing Unix? - bindu rama rao

Of course the unfortunate consequence of this is that you must have PS/2's to get that support. In fact, given the growing popularity of token-ring (particularly the 16Megabit version) I would think there could be a reasonable market for third party device drivers. Anyone out there interested?? > Does ISC 2.2 TCP/IP and NFS work on Token-ring > networks? I am virtually certain the answer to this is NO, since they do not provide any such device driver. What I am not sure about, is if someone were to write such a driver whether ISC's tcp/ip could be configured to use it or would their code also have to be altered. In that case the driver writer would have to work in coordination with ISC. Would someone at ISC fill us in on this?? How about ISC themselves doing such a driver??
