Regarding tying Macs to your OS/2 server: We've got several Macs tied to various MS-DOS-based machines on a peer-to-peer net, using Tops. The key, methinks, is what you use as a gateway between your IBM Token Ring and the Apples. You're gonna hafta pick that one, and that really is key. Your message indicated "assuming we get the physical link done" -- my experience is that the specific hardware/software you use to create the physical link will mostly define what file format translators are available. I can tell you that Tops (which is the onl y system I've used) does have such a gateway box, and though I've not used it, I've had good success with the rest of their products, so... And the collection of MS-DOS to Apple translators they have is impressive. I suggest that you shop for a gateway based on who has the OS/2 to Mac translators you want to use. -- Jerry Andrews at The Black Cat's Shack (Fidonet 1:109/401) Internet: Jerry.Andrews@f426.n109.z1.fidonet.org UUCP: ...!uunet!blkcat!426!Jerry.Andrews
