is anyone running pc-nfs _and_ pc-oracle on a dos machine? i'm having problems figuring out whether this is possible, since the two vendors involved (sun and oracle) provide orthogonal lists of ethernet cards. nor can i extract any info from them regarding dos extended memory conflicts, etc. would like to use my vax/ultrix systems as oracle database servers _and_ file servers for the pc's. straight tcp/ip network (no novell or any other pc-lan) if you _are_ doing this, please advise what ethernet card you're using, and any restrictions, special tricks, etc... also, are you using sun's pc-nfs product? is nfs for dos available from any other vendors? tia for any info... -- ------ don kossman, sei information technology, los angeles ...sun.com!suntzu!seila!don ...uunet!mahendo.jpl.nasa.gov!jplgodo!seila!don

I beleive PC-oracle works with Excelan 205T cards. BWNFS/EXCELAN V1.10 ( A PC based NFS client) runs over the excelan 205T /TCP transport and can work concurrently with Novell over excelan. It also should work concurrently with pc-oracle. BWNFS/EXCELAN is available from Beame & Whiteside Software Ltd. (416) 648-6556. - Carl Beame Beame@McMaster.CA

When the next version of PC-Oracle comes out, it will be able to use any of our PC/TCP kernels as its TCP/IP transport layer. We support a wide range of Ethernet, Starlan, Pronet and 802.5 cards, as well as SLIP. We also have an add-on implementation of NFS for PC/TCP, called Interdrive, which will co-exist just fine with other applications using the TCP/IP protocol stack. James B.

Oracle should be shipping SQL*Net TCP/IP for PC-NFS, an Oracle product built with the PC-NFS Programmer's Toolkit, in a few weeks. Your Oracle rep should know about this product; if not you might give Ben Linder of Oracle a call.
