Last summer, we tested HP LAN Manager and HP LM/X (on a HP 9000) and found that solution very interesting. We now have one lab of 20 PCs running LAN Manager and connected to an LM/X server (HP 9000) where are stored WINDOWS 3.0, LOTUS, WORD PERFECT and even DOS. The lab is connected to the campus network so that we can upgrade the server from the network. We can also run LAN Manager on a PC not on the same subnet. BTW, anyone one the net is running LAN Manager/packet driver combination ? We would like to do so (and then use NCSA Telnet with LAN Manager). We are also interested in adding a mail service in this configuration. Any experience someone ?
