I am looking into setting up a small TCP/IP based network running on the same ether as Novell 2.2. This is to be an expertise building testbed for a possible link between our PC LAN and NLnet (our local internet incarnation). What I have done so far: - researched this subject enough to know I don't know anything. - Grabbed everything in SIMTEL20's PKTDRVR directory and WIN/QVTnet (windows software with FTP, TELNET and hooks for POP3 mail and other goodies.) - Used what I have to get an FTP session going between to machines on the ether. (couldn't get telnet to work and I haven't tried POP mail yet) My test network: - one Samsung 386sx 20 running Netware 2.2 with NE1000 ethernet adapter - three Samsung 386 33's running Dos 5.0, Windows 3.1, QEMM or 386MAX with NE1000 Ethernet Adapters. One PC has a LaserJet IIIP that I would like to use as LPR. Another has an ATI 9600etc/e Modem I would like availible to all hosts (if possible). What I would like: - Recommendations and reviews of PD,Shareware,FreeWare and Commercial TCP/IP software. (i.e. Windows based TCP/IP,DOS TCP/IP, mail, printers) - Pointers and advice (Book titles would be nice too!) - I'm not even sure what questions to ask or what software I would need to get this running. Recommendations for a how to guide and a shopping list would be appreciated as well. - If I am asking this question in the wrong place, which group to post to? The general idea is that the Novell Server (not this specific machine) will be eventually the link to the outside world (if possible, other suggestions welcome). Please reply by email, or post if you will. I will post a summary if folks are interested. Thanks cyril@odie.cs.mun.ca
