It's unfortunate you've written Netware Connect off so quickly; I've been using it here to support both remote node and remote control users for nearly 2 years with excellent results. Supported dial-in/out platforms include DOS, Windows 3.1, 95 and NT. It's stable (the box has been up for 220+ days straight), and I get far better than 9600bps performance on a 28.8Kbps dialup connection. I do have a "processor farm" in a Cubix box for folks who need high-speed LAN type access to databases; those are controlled via ReachOut, but NWC is the agent that provides ReachOut with its connection to these processors. The remote node support is certainly NOT recommended for individuals whose applications and data reside on Netware servers, but neither is anyone else's. It works wonderfully well for terminal emulation, groupware designed for remote node connections (a la GroupWise Remote), web browsing and many other low-bandwidth applications though. One simply has to match the problem to the solution, and in our case, Netware Connect provides a robust solution to a number of connectivity problems. - Jeffrey R.
