   How about telling us a little more about your environment.  Why are you
   comparing Vines 386 to NetWare 286.  Shouldn't NetWare 386 be in the
   running too?

   Vines has a very good global naming service.  Vines is best on large
   internetworks.

   NetWare has 70% of the installed base of LANs.   If you want performance,
   and support, and the greatest variety of third party add-ins, then
   NetWare is for you.
