I just saw an announcement for NetWare for Macintosh V3.0, I also remember
hearing about NetWare client software for the Amiga. Any facts or rumors
about such a thing out there? I think I even saw some pictures of screenshots
from some of the software (in AmigaWorld?) Might just be hype but as I'm
surrounded by Macs and IBMs running on a Novell network I'd like to be able
show the same network can be used by Amigas.
How about amiga netorks served by an amiga? I've seen several adds for amiga
specific stuff... Any comments on the appropriateness of the amiga as a file
server? I know... who'd want to waste a cool machine on a file server, but
I'm thinking of the multi-tasking abilities.

Both are, however, still have real-soon-now status. I'm not sure if any third-party companies do Amiga Arcnet/Novell. In case anybody cares, Ethernet is available for the Amiga from multiple vendors, including Commodore. . >Brian Heil ) University of Iowa
