I am interested in examining NETBIOS/SMB servers for both *NIX and VMS-based platforms. I'm aware of one company call Syntax Systems having a product in this area. Are there others? Company names and phone numbers would be appreciated as well as any experiences with this type of product (good and/or bad). Thanks in advance! Steve -- Steven W.

Steve, There is a company in the Seattle area, called Interconnections who developed the IPX stack and server for VMS. That product is primarily sold by Novell, as Novell for VMS. They had plans to branch out into the LAN MAN area with SMB services at some point. I last talked to them in 88. Anyway, they may be reached at (206) 881-5773 voice, or (206) 867-5022 fax.

We have tried the existing SCO client in-house, talking to a 3Com 3+ Open Lan Manager server over IP, and it seemed to work O.K...... On a general point, the number of PC LANS based around Lan Manager and the Server Message Block scheme seems to vindicate the technique - the testing time will be with the general availability of LM/X. (No, this does not represent an official statement on behalf of and Logitek Group company - I am to blame if anyone disagrees.) -- +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+ | I've got a little black book with my poems in, | Martin O'Nions | | I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in,| Logitek Group Support | | When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a | martino@logitek.co.uk | | bone in (Roger Waters - The Wall) | 0257 426 644 | +------------------------------------------------+-----------------------+
