I found myself in the same boat a few months ago, we bought Netware
Connect.  This product is terrible for calling into a Netware server.  We
have an ISDN connection, but the average throughput is equivalent to a 9600
baud rate.  I'm sorry I don't have a suggestion, just a recommendation. 
Stay away from Netware Connect.

try setting up a workstation with pcanywhere, reachout, or closeup.  If
you have a lot of users that need it or a lot of money check out Qubix
and their comm servers...very cool!

I used 3COM's Access Builder....others such as Shiva' product line perform
the same functions.  To minimize traffic and increase your users productivity,
you want to install the application software on each client.  Access only
the data.  This is especially true with remote email, etc..

If you want to run Windows applications without installing the code on the
client, then consider applications such as PCanywhere32, etc.

Hope this gives you some ideas.

We were in the same position.  We were running Netware Connect v1.0 for
dial-in and dial-out service.  It is working fine for dial-out.  For
dial-in we were running pc Anywhere for remote control.  This solution
did not work.  Machines would look or they could not establish a
connection.  In December I purchase a Shiva Landrover. This has work
great.  It requires you to load the software you need to run on the
remote node but access is easy and dependable.  We are able to dial-in
connect to LAN/WAN and AS/400.  I would strongly recommend the Landrover
for dial-in access.  They have a site a HTTP://WWW.SHIVA.COM

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.

Hi,

We recently reviewed several options and finally installed WanderLink by
Funk Software (see HTTP://WWW.FUNK.COM). This is a software solution
that runs as an NLM on a Netware server with an optional hi-speed COMM
board (we used Rocketport serial by Comtrol). The main features are:
data compression (our throughput is usually 25k using 14.4k modems),
data encryption and login-script execution. As an extra, remote control
software (Proxy) is included. The client is currently running on Win3.x
and Win95. So far it's great. Hope this helps.

Thanks

Ronald

Here's what we did:  Setup a PC running Windows NT server, using RAS.  On
your remote machine, use Win95 or WinNT using RAS to dial into the NT
server. using whatever protocols your Netware network uses.

Works flawlessly, especially now that you can maintain your NT server
through NWAdmin.

We have been running Wanderlink from Funk Software for dial in access
and are very happy with it. As with all remote clients of this type,
put as much of the executables and static data files in the remote
client for speed. Dont even think about running syscon from the server
over a 28.8K line!
