I'm in the process of setting up a small TCP/IP network which will primarily be based around some HP Starlan-10 (ie, twisted-pair ethernet) cards. I've also got this nice Microport System V/386 sitting under my desk, and it occurs to me that it'd be nice to be able to hook it into that network. The Starlan cards look like 3Com 3C501 cards, making them pretty compatible with the world of Ethernet software at large. What I need to know is what kind of software is required to make this system talk over the Ethernet to the other systems on the network? All the other systems (a few PCs running NCSA, a couple running FTP software's PC/TCP Plus, and some Unix boxes that have the "standard" networking software) have the software necessary to network "built-in", but I'm not aware of any software that already resides on this uPort box that will do the trick. What's out there (preferably public domain; I might have a hard time convincing my boss why I need to spend money to put my "toy" uPort system on the "real" network) that I can use to get hooked up to the rest of my little world? Oh yes, I guess I should mentioned that by "hooked up" I'd like to be able to (at a minimum) rlogin or telnet to any of the other hosts, and if possible FTP software back and do NFS-flavor mounts of drives across systems. Is there any hope?
