[net.lan] PC/NET w/Unix

jutz@pogo.UUCP (Curt Jutzi) (01/31/86)

	I currently have a group of 12 pc-at's in an engineering
	environment.  I also have 3 UNIX machines running bsd 4.2.
	I have all the unix machines on the net, but the real problem
	is that the AT's aren't.  

	I am looking for a system where I talk to the PC's from the
	Unix machines and also talk to the Unix machines from each one
	one of the PC.  (Local Area Network)

	I would like 
		remote login
		remote execution of commands (Unix / MS-DOS)
		remote copy
		remote shell
		ms-dos/Unix file transfere

	Is there anyone out there that has a system that solves these
	problems. Who has the best LAN and why?

	Please respond to me :

MIT has a package which will get an IBM-PC, XT, or AT on a LAN speaking
TCP/IP.  Supported interfaces are Proteon proNET and 3COM or Interlan
ethernet.  This provides telnet and tftp.  Contact John Romkey
romkey@borax.lcs.mit.edu (617) 253-6020 for details.  A new company, FTP
Software, will be marketing a newer version of this software which will
support ftp and Berkeleyisms like rlogin, rsh, rcp, etc.  They can be
reached at (617) 497-5066, or P.O.Box 150, Kendall Square Branch,
Cambridge MA  02142.

This is one of the faster TCP/IP implementations I've seen.  It also
has a complete ICMP layer, unlike Wollongong and several other TCP/IP's
being marketed.

I just got information in the mail about a package from EXCELAN for
the PC. So far, all I've been asked to do is to gather information on 
PC-othermachine networking packages. 

Ditto with Woolongong (although I'm not a big fan of theirs due to their
lack of subnetting support).
