Message-ID: <2589@cveg.uucp> Date: 15 Jun 89 14:15:14 GMT References: <11806@s.ms.uky.edu> <12132@grebyn.COM> Sender: netnews@cveg.uucp Distribution: usa Organization: College of Engineering, University of Arkansas, Fayetteville Lines: 15 We have an existing Novell network with ~40 PC clones using AST ethernet cards. We also have an existing IBM AS/400 which supports Token-ring. Can anyone tell me about connecting the Novell network to the AS/400. I have heard of putting a Token-ring card in the file-server and connecting it to the 400. Will this work? Do you then have to use PC Support somehow to get to the Big Blue Box? We HAD a gateway at one point, but were VERY unhappy with the performance and GAPING security holes it had. Any information you could give me will be much appreciated! Thanks in advance. James E.
