I recently posted a request for opinions from people that have had some
experience in bringing up any kind of network of PC's. I guess that from
the wording of my request, I did not make it clear to the audience that
my lan will only be supporting PC's at this time. I have received many
replies suggesting products from Sun to connect my PC's to some Unix box
acting as a file-server. So let me make it clear now:
I need information about connecting PC's to other PC's with facilities
for sharing disks, printers, modems(?), and any other peripheral device
that you can think of. I would like the file system to be as transparent
to the user as possible. For the average user, he would see his PC as
a standalone machine...
I would also like to ask at this time, that those of you who recently sent mail
to ...seismo!columbia!mammoth!m-liu to please resend it to the UUCP address
posted below. We have been having some disk problems and I lost two notes
already. If at all possible please reply to my ARPA address. The reply that
I wanted most, that was lost, said something about Ungermann-Bass. Would you
please resend to the new addresses. Thanking you all in advance!
