We have been banging away trying to get heterogeneous networking over TCP/IP going at our shop. We keep running into little snags, we find problems and trudge on. So, I ask: 1) Who out there is doing heterogeneous networking using Unix and other TCP/IP implemenations? 2) Is anyone having success doing networking on 386's? If so, whose TCP/IP package are you using on the 386? 3) Do you have any specific advice on how we get this going faster? For example, should we have a LAN analyzer (which one?) should we stick with a certain box for development (Sun?) 4) Does anyone recommend building a TCP/IP module for general purpose use -- something that hides some of the complexity of the Berkely socket interface? 5) Do people hire consultants to do this sort of work?? Do you recommend anyone in particular? Your responses to these questions represents a valued resource to us, thanks for your time. -- =============================================================================== Tom Hampton, Mgr.
