Has anyone successfully installed dual TCP/IP connections in a PS/2? I am trying to connect TCP/IP to a Token Ring AIX network, and as well install a Dickens Data Ethernet board in the same machine to talk to NFS & non-IBM equipment like 1. SCO, 2. AUX 3. Sun I have also come to realize that the different TCP/IP sendmail schemes might be a monsterous nightmare. At least it is on SCO. Any suggestions welcome. pete

Sun Yes, I have done this many places. There is no problem setting up a PS/2 as a gateway with dual ethernet cards that I am aware of. My only question is what the heck is a Dickens Data ethernet card?? They must be putting their own name on another manufacturers board. The only ethernet interfaces that are supported are UngermanBass (sp?) and 3Comm so hopefully its one of the two of those. >I have also come to realize that the different TCP/IP sendmail schemes might >be a monsterous nightmare. At least it is on SCO. Sendmail doesn't deal with issues like routing, it lives in the world of DNS, so as long as it can resolve its addresses whether via nameservice or hosts it should be happy. In fact, I can't think of any aspect of sendmail configuration that would be affected by this. As for SCO, well, I tried to help someone get mail working on an SCO system on our network and as far as I could tell their sendmail was badly broken. It didn't use nameservice (which we use company wide) and even with a hosts file it was still non-functional in other ways I don't completely recall. Were I to run SCO I would be off trying to build the latest sendmail source for myself. Disclaimer: These opinions are mine, not necessarily LCC's or IBM's. -- Jack F.
