I have a CS200 terminal server on one subnet and the NCS on the
other subnet of my Cisco. My Cisco have two ethernet interfaces.

How can I boot a CS200 terminal server running TCP/IP software
from a NCS across subnets. Those were made by Bridge Communication now 3Com.
The NCS is a PC running Xenix and it's job is to download the
resident software in the ram's of the terminal server.

Even if those two boxes run TCP, I think some XNS is involved at
boot time. What configuration is required in the Cisco?

I still have about 20 of those terminal servers and I will replace them
with Cisco when new money comes. Support from 3Com is /dev/null.

Thanks, Clem.

I tried routing XNS protocol between the ethernet interfaces in my
Cisco but that did not work; I used the Cisco Bridging Software on
the same Ethernet and this worked.
