I am sure networking is a complex topic not easily addressed in a short
article; but I have 2 Towers and would like to network them. I think
networking sounds like the best way to grow computer power. I need better
than that thought however; to justify spending $10k to get there. I have
been reading on the subject; but can find no one who knows anything about
networking willing to educate (sell) me to the point where I could make a
proposal to my company. I guess I could buy a Sun for $10k.

The vendors I have heard of are Banyan, Ftp, Lachman, Wollongong, Excellan.
I sure would like to see a post or reference discussing the merits
of the various products. Tower Net has been around for years. What is it?
I remember Greg Hackney posting some info on NFS on Towers. Had to do
with a v2 to v3 upgrade.

Please do not refer me to my NCR Salesperson;
The ones who know the product cannot fool with orders of quantity 1.
