Dear TCP/IPers,
In the past year, the number of microcomputers on our campus has
exploded. We see every type of microcomputer, with the largest number
being IBM and Apple. Currently we have a IBM lab (20 50zs), a Apple
lab (10 SEs), and anticipate Unix workstations in the near future. Mail
and Academics are done on a Vax Cluster, Administration is done on two
HP3000s. We now need to look at networking everything, or do we? So far,
we have decided to install a Local Talk network, with either Apple Share
or Tops for the MACs. Being new to network environments, I have two
questions.
Functionally, what does a TCP/IP network give us?
What experiences have you had working with TCP/IP?
I appreciate your input, thank you,
