PCI on the other hand is a stable product with an installed base of tens of thousands of machines. >support things beyond NFS? AADU (PCI) is not NFS. It's the same only different. Remote filesystems become accessable to your DOS machine as your next drive (d: e: f: etc). >Is it needed to provide Xwindows access? No. PCI, PC XSight, and our TCP/IP product are put together like this: PCI / PCXSight TCP/IP MACHINE so that the two top level products share the same interface to the network. You can also use some other vendors TCP/IP products as well. >Dan Rich ---- Richard Pettit Locus Computing Corp. richp@locus.com "Opinions expressed herein are of the author, not (LCC or IBM)"
