Hi !

Here comes a problem I don't know any cheap (in terms of money)
answer for:

The PC-pool of our math. dep. consists of a few (20?) Mod.50 PS/2
with IBM Token Ring cards and a file server Mod.80. The server
is connected to the Mod.50's with TR and with a ethernet card
to the campus LAN.

We want to provide all of the Mod.50's with IP-connectivity,
to connect to the rest of the LAN. Preferably we want to use
NCSA-Telnet (v2.3b7 aval.).

As far as I see, ncsa-telnet can make use of TR-cards.
So we would need some sort of router-sw for our Mod.80 ?
Where can we get some ? Should we use AIX for that purpose ?

The Mod.80 is a file server with some IBM-sw (dont know it
personally ;). Will it work in combination with IP ?
What about using PC-NFS afterwards/instead ?h

In case someone just knows a bit about it, please reply via
mail. I'll summarize if there's enough interest.
Comments like "forget it", "will never work" etc are
highly welcome, because it will give me some hint, too !
