We have a couple macintosh installations here and we'd like to know
which is the best Network to set up.
Right now we're running MacServe. We're running it close to capacity
and are having some problems.
We have a dedicated SE serving around 30 macs or so with 3 imagewriters and
an NTX laserwriter. Aside from being slow, our 'Laserwriter' drivers
are getting clobbered, and sometimes while someone is MacWrite-ing
something, the screen will freeze. Only recourse is to reset the machine.
Could these things be caused by running MacServe to it's limits, or
does this sound like something unrelated to MacServe? Has anyone
had this happen to them before?
We are thinking of moving to AppleShare. We are waiting for the
new version due out next month. Does anyone have any comments on
AppleShare? Especially the new version that is coming out.
BEST FEATURES? / WORST FEATURES?
How about some others, like TOPS?
Is it smart to go with AppleShare for the future standards?
Any and all comments welcome......
Thanks!
