 We're putting in a set of two logical networks using IBM ATs that share the
same hardware: TCP/IP will be with locally modified M.I.T. code but we also
need an "office" type system. The two top contenders (possibly due to ignorance)
are Novell/286 and Banyon Vines (the system will be ethernet using MICOM
NI-5010s). There have been a lot of (mostly nice) things said about Novell on
the net but little mention of Vines. If someone out there is using it I'd be
delighted to hear from you.

 We do know of at least one company that supports TCP/IP on Novell but that
proved too expensive and didn't support the MICOM boards that, for a variety
of reasons, are what we will be using.

 Please help!
