[comp.protocols.ibm] Novell/TCPIP questions

mwalters@UWYO.BITNET (Michael Joe Walters) (05/18/88)

I have a couple of questions that I hope someone might be able to help me with.

     1. Is anyone using a Novell ethernet LAN and also accessing a
        TCP/IP network through the same ethernet board in your micro?
        What ethernet board are you using?
     2. Is anyone using a Novell ethernet LAN and also accessing a
        TCP/IP network through a board in the file serve? What board are
        you using?

We are using the Novell NE1000 board in our micros but have not been successful
in accessing a TCP/IP network. We have thought about using the Micom 5210 board
but Novell has not certified it to run on their Novell network.

Any help on this would be appreciated......

We are going to try a 20 node LAN using Excelan's 205T Ethernet Boards and
their LAN WorkPlace Package for Netware software which Novell & Excelan
both claim will access our TCP/IP backbone through our NetWare server.
The software includes ftp, telnet and a bunch of "r" utilities with VT100
emulation.  I hope it works - it's not cheep.  Actually, we're buying
Excelan's LAN Workplace Package for Host Access, which includes goodies to
use our VAX 8650 as an SMB Server; plus the NetWare drivers - Excelan's
part number LWP-2002, in case you're interested...
