: Steve,

: One option is a product called "Instant Internet" manufactured by
: Performance Technology.  It is a box that you attach to your
: Novell/Windows LAN that allows everyone on the LAN to make a TCP/IP
: connection to an Internet provider.  It supposedly takes only 15
: minutes to install.  After installation, all you need to do is put
: your winsock applications on each workstation that needs access.  A
: 28,800 modem is built into the Instant Internet, but you can plug in
: an external ISDN terminal adapter if you want to go that route.

: The box retails at about $3500.  One local distributer is Computer
: Networking Group, Inc.  One of their sales people is Alan Casas.  His
: phone number is (312) 226-0495 ext. 22.  I talked to them at the
: recent Windows World expo.

: To learn more, there is an article in the July 1995 issue of "Byte"
: titled "Short-Order Internet Access" (p. 139) which reviews Instant
: Internet and one other product.

: How did you get all those Dell's donated?

	As an option to "Instant Internet" you can get a Novell product
	Unixware which is Novell's version of UNIX.  It only costs
	$425 and is basically self-installing.  The great thing about it,
	is that it works with your existing netware system and can be
	connected to your ISP via SLIP/PPP(dial-up) or via leased line
	as well.  This can be run on a higher end 386(which I dont recommend)
	but even with a  high-end 486 you are going to spend a lot less than
	$3500 for a simple UNIX server.
