We have "suggested" that they network real soon now if they want reasonable tech support in the future. They have a 386 machine that can be a server. However, they will need to purchase a new hard disk subsystem. I have decided the go SCSI. and now for the twist - The disk unit needs to run dos 4.01 until netware is purchased. I am interested in the procomp DCBs (never used them) - can they used under dos or are they strictly channel attached under netware? And..any comments on ELS II (they have five users) via anw286 / SFT. They want low cost, I want good performance and reliability. j. peterson/sys eng/liu, southampton/ peterson@liuvax.bitnet
