My department is considering installing a Novell network for a mixed environment of Macs (Plus, SEs, SE/30, and IIxs), and PCs (compatibles and PS/2s). We've read about and received the manufacturer's blurbs on Novell Netware 2.15 and Elonex hardware (i.e. EtherNet boards and fileservers - high spec., low price); we've seen an established Novell LAN on our campus based on Netware 2.12 and PC compatibles only (still a bit bug infested); but we haven't come across the type of configuration that we're interested in. I know that PCs can be hooked onto LocalTalk networks but we need EtherNet specs to gateway onto a 'campus spine' that's being installed. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's got/seen a Novell network working effectively and reliably with both Macs and PCs using the same fileserver? Finally has anyone got/seen any decent BBS/Conferencing software running on a Mac or PC over a Novell network? -- Chris Colbourn, Psychology Dept, Southampton University, SO9 5NH, UK JANET: pyi011@uk.ac.soton.ibm or cjc@uk.ac.soton.ecs INTERNET: pyi011%soton.ac.uk%nsfnet-relay.ac.uk TEL: +44 703 592589 (DDI) or +44 703 595000 x2589 TLX: 47661 SOTONU G FAX: +44 703 593939 -- Chris Colbourn, Psychology Dept, Southampton University, SO9 5NH, UK JANET: pyi011@uk.ac.soton.ibm or cjc@uk.ac.soton.ecs INTERNET: pyi011%soton.ac.uk%nsfnet-relay.ac.uk TEL: +44 703 592589 (DDI) or +44 703 595000 x2589 TLX: 47661 SOTONU G FAX: +44 703 593939
