Any connectivity wizards out there?
Is there any way of connecting a Macintosh to a Wang (Wangnet) network?
Our office bought a Wang VS system (it's mini - know nothing about it -
not in my league ;) and plans to buy Wang PC's for us since backups
can be easily made on the VS system. The VS is there for accounting
purposes and our personal computers are there solely for word processing
and Electronic Publishing.
If I could convice the management that backing up on the VS can also
be achieved on the VS system using Mac's, the chance of them being
brought in is very high. The Wang MS-DOS personal computers are
at least as expensive (including everything from mice to network software)
as Mac II's. Even after considering the recent price-quakes. It
hit 9.5 on the financial scales here...;)
I prefer to use Mac II's for wordprocessing and electronic publishing.
Any replies (posting and/or E-Mail) are highly appreciated.
