[net.lan] Novell PC LAN s/w on 3COM h/w?

dwight@timeinc.UUCP (Dwight Ernest) (05/18/85)

	We've heard from several sources a rumor that many 3COM
OEMs are shifting AWAY from the 3COM LAN software toward a new
LAN software package from Novell (sp?) that utilizes the same
3COM Ethernet interface boards. The sources we've talked to
seem to indicate that Novell has a "superior LAN management
implementation."
	Does anyone have any experience with Novell software
on 3COM Ethernet hardware that they'd be willing to share
with us all? Any ideas what the difference might be between
the two?
	Please reply by mail; I'll promise a summary posting.
	Thank you.
