Does anyone know of any networking solutions to network DOS to Unix in a transparent manner - somewhat similar to the way Novell Netware works. Basically, just a way to map a Unix directory to a DOS virtual drive and provide print services for DOS machines - using Unix as the file server. I want to "hide" unix boxes as DOS file servers for various clients. PC-NFS is too expensive to license and eliminates all cost advantages at $205.00 per PC...is there anything public-domain that hooks into DOS and provides file services? Or anything commercial with better licensing? Caveat: Telnet and ftp, unfortunately, are not the answer. I would imagine that my clients DO NOT want to see Unix, just DOS... someday, hopefully, they'll want Unix, but not now. Thanks in advance. (Please e-mail replies - I'll post a summary.)
