Hi there,
   I"ve recently joined a lab with a LAN consisting of a SPARCs10 and a
couple of PS/2s ethernetted to it with Sun"s PC-NFS.  I am to connect 
my PC to this.  I"ve got me this DV/X and guess that the TCP/IP is
what I need.  Now, what else do I need?  Do have to get a specific DV/X
TCP/IP package or is there only one kind?  Is the fact that the windoze
loving crew with the PC-NFS thing on this LAN going to screw up my
plans of Xing to the sparcs?  Do I need to know more about the hardware
that"s in place before I can get solid answers to these questions?  For
instance, the telnet rigging seems to involve a lot of coaxial cable,
I gather this is pretty archaic, does it matter?
  Much thanks in advance,
--
