I am looking for recommendations on what ethernet card to use with Netware 3.11 -and the MAC NLM. I am under the assumption that the MAC NLM will only work for- a very limited number of ethernet cards. I have Netware 3.11 on order along with the MAC NLM but I haven't received it yet. I was going to use a 3Com 3C503 or 3C507 but I have been told that neither of these will work with the MAC NLM. Thanks for any help. *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Name: Steve Miller | The Ohio State University Internet: STEVE-MILLER+@OSU.EDU | Academic Computing Services CompuServe: 76702,1522 | Rm. 406 Baker Systems Phone: 614-292-4843 | 1971 Neil Avenue FAX: 614-292-7081 | Columbus, Ohio 43210-1210

I don't know about you, but I'm definately going to try the NLM using my
3c503 card doing either Ethertalk phase 1 or 2. I think you do need the
DL2000 to do localtalk though. Maybe novell hasn't certified that many
ethernet cards yet but I'm going to test it out and see how it goes anyway.

We have been using the Mac NLM on a 3C505 ethernet card with no problems, although we haven't used it very heavily. We are also using the Western Digital Elite Plus for IPX and have had no problems. bye, ken emery ken@tcs.com

If your card works with NetWare v3.11 it will work with the NetWare for Macintosh NLM. AppleTalk protocols are bound to the ethernet driver in precisely the same way IPX or IP are bound to the driver! The rest of you quit speculating. ++Tim =========================================== Tim Myers Senior Software Consultant Novell, Inc. "Macintosh: the only GUI that doesn't SUCK."

The DL2000 should now replace the NL1000 for LocalTalk. ++Tim =========================================== Tim Myers Senior Software Consultant Novell, Inc. "Macintosh: the only GUI that doesn't SUCK."
