Hello Everyone!
This is a question that is CONSISTANTLY asked, but I have to ask
it again. I need help in deciding which networking package we should
use to join our Ibm's. Here are the parameters, we need a GOOD package
that will allow us to access files concurrently, support a maximum of 20 users
or so, and have different levels of password AND hardware protection. (Meaning
are the files scrambled before being sent over the network and then decoded
at the other end, or are they sent in a readable format?) Price really is
not a factor- but ease of use is. While anyone is at it, would they care
to explain the next few things as well...
1) What is the differnce between CONCURRENT and NONCONCURRENT
DOS? (Good and bad points?)
2) The difference between XENIX and NOVELL for instance?
3) What are you using, do you like it, and what would you
recommend?
So I don't clutter up the network with all of this, please reply to my
address... I'm sure that everyone (except me!) has probably heard enough
about this.......... I will then post a summary to the list. Many thanks
for all your help-
Tom Kurke
