Howdy!

I'm about to move to (for me at least) unknown area with our network.

So, I've got this 386/20 which is running Interactive 386/ix. I've got
TCP/IP and such things installed. The computer is running as a server for
a pc-network (Locus PC-Interface) and it has been (about) problem free
until now.

Now I should connect one ps/2 70 which is running os/2. Has anyone got
experience with such thing? Should I use the pc-interface or go straight
for tcp/ip? The main use for the connection would be to get some files 
from the server to the ps/2, which is running as a FMS controller. That 
is Flexible Manufacturing System.

This again would be the link between CAD/CAM and the cell control program.

Any helpful tip or experience is greeted with a great joy :)

Timo
