A division at Miami is considering implementation of a 200+
node Novel lan consisting of mostly MS-DOS systems with a
few Macintosh computers.  The clients will need tcp/ip
wide area services for telnet (vt100, and tn3270) and ftp.
Presumably there will be a mail system in use that we
will bridge wide area mail (smtp) to.  The Mac's are a
no brainer.  The MS-DOS computers are much harder
tp specify.
 
My question?  Has anyone out there sucessfully implemented
Novel client software with something approaching a "standard"
tcp/ip stack on an MS-DOS computer?  I'm also interested in
any mail recommendations you might have for this system.
 
Many thanks for the info.
 
P.S.  As an alternative to implementing directly on the MS-DOS
computers we would reluluctantly accept some kind of gateway
system.
