We have a large ethernet based network on the Acadia campus with one
exception. The Business School is currently using arcnet to access
our main Novell server. For Novell purposes this is fine. However,
they are getting to a point where they now want TCP/IP services like
all of the ethernet users. We could set them up using the Wollongong
software but besides being very poor software it is also very expensive
(there are 60 arcnet stations).
Is there some other solution, perferably PD, that would provide novell
arcnet users with ethernet-like telnet and ftp services. I have saw
some information about ka9q and PCROUTE accomplishing this sort of
thing, but I would like to hear from someone who has actually done
it. I would really like to be able to use NCSA Telnet, but any
telnet package would do.
Please reply to me directly since I don't normally read this group.
Thanks.

Yes. A university such as yourself can use Phil Karn (KA9Q)'s NOS to
route packets between ARCNET and Ethernet. You'll need to FTP it from
thumper.bellcore.com:pub/ka9q/nos/src0302.zip, and recompile it, turning
ARCNET on. Then you'll need the ARCNET packet driver, FTP it from
sun.soe.clarkson.edu:pub/packet-drivers/drivers.zip.

Sorry, if you're unwilling to invest the time to read the group, I'm unwilling
to help only you.
