********************************************************************* PLEASE DIRECT ALL E-MAIL REPLIES TO THE ADDRESS BELOW ********************************************************************* Hi, I am working on a project to develop an Oracle application on a UNIX 386 machine. My problem is, this application will be accessed by remote PC-DOS Users (out of state) who will dial into this machine to execute this application. User will get a set of menus and should be able to carry out SQL type queries. Will all Users see the same menus upon logging in ? I want to know if it is feasible to configure the system using multiple phone lines (with same dial-in number) with a multiplexer or is it more complicated than that. Users will be allowed to down load files using Kermit etc. Is there any public domain/commercial software available to do this. I am thinking of using a package like ProComm at remote users site to download files after logging in to the system. I want to know if the system will preventother users from dialing-in when a user is logged on ( UNIX 386 machine). BTW the ethernet is not an option. Would a Unix BBS do the job? This project is part of my research work and I am already way behind schedule. An early response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
