We'd like to link the TCP/IP and Novell networks so users on the SCO ODT machines can access the Novell server's drives, and users on the Novell workstations can send mail to the ODT machines, as well as access the ODT drives through NFS and possibly telnet/rlogin/ftp/etc. to the ODT machines. Some questions: 1. Is it okay to put the TCP/IP and Novell networks on the same Ethernet cable? I know Ethernet packets is Ethernet packets, but will Novell and/or ODT just ignore packets it doesn't understand? 2. If it's okay to do (1), then I suppose we could just use something like PC-NFS plus NCSA Telnet on the PC's, right? 3. Again, if it's okay to do (1), are there versions of IPX and NETx for SCO Unix? 4. If it isn't okay to do (1), then is there a program for MS-DOS that we could use to connect the two? I'd prefer to not have to buy a separate network bridge or router, especially considering that we're a computer reseller and thus have lots of spare PC's lying around. Sorry if these are absurdly simple questions or have been recently discussed, but as you've probably already figured out, I'm a novice network administrator... -- Marc Unangst | mju@mudos.ann-arbor.mi.us | "Bus error: passengers dumped" ...!umich!leebai!mudos!mju |
