   My department seems to be teetering on the brink of disaster.  Six
   months ago we were encouraged to purchase Ungermann-Bass ethernet
   cards for PCs and PS/2s.

NIU or NIC?

   Other areas of interest: Could the server's card be replaced with a
   non-UB card, new network software installed, and have the UB-based
   PCs use its services?  In this manner, we could make the network
   more flexible and useful.

Perhaps, but it will take some work on your part.  You could use
packet drivers and install a Novell or PC-NFS network.  There already
exists a packet driver for the UB NIC/PC.  You could write a packet
driver for the PS/2 machines.  Then, not only could you run Novell,
but you could also run TCP/IP at the same time on the same machines.
If the UB software also used the packet drivers, you could also use
*their* software at the same time, too.

We won the cold war.  The Russians spent trillions defending their stuff,
then they found that they didn't have any stuff.  Will we avoid the same trap?
