I am looking for news of real or forthcoming implementations. I don't know if anyone in Provo would like to comment, but a Novell "Marketecht" (spelling anbody?) was heard to say that this sort of function would be handled over the much awaited NetWare386 IP NLM. This was shortly after the discussion of the same principle over SNA, and in that case at least, it was implemented by a third party. If there's anybody with more info (or even a simple refutation) relating to this. I'd be interested. We are MAC level bridged just about everywhere in the company, but there are time when its nice to stick with one protocol (particularly when it's IP). Comments?
