Subject: Info on Wollongong WIN/PC Route?
Newsgroups: comp.dcom.lans


Has anyone had any first hand experience or "look-see" at the WIN/PC 
ROUTE product from the Wollongong Group?  For those not familiar 
with the "announced" product, the following excerpts are from the 
preliminary info blurb:

"OVERVIEW
WIN/PC Route is a software gateway product which provides IP routing 
for TCP/IP based communicatino between Ethernet and proprietary 
Netbios-based PC local area networks.  The product operates with PC 
or MS-DOS 3.0 or later and requries a PC dedicated to the gateway 
function.

FEATURES
- WIN/PC Route supports gateway capability for Ethernet-to-Ethernet 
networks as well as Novell NetWare Netbios-based PC LANs
- Each WIN/PC Route support up to three different physical nets.

BENEFITS
WIN/PC Route operates as a gateway conecting proprietary PC LAN's to 
Ethernet network envirnoments utilizing TCP/IP protocols.  For 
example, users on a Novell Netware network can now transparently 
connect to host computers, running TCP/IP, on an Ethernet network as 
though they were directly connected to that network.

NETWORKS SUPPORTED
WIN/PC Route supports the following network hardware interfaces:
 -  3Com 3C501 Etherlink
 -  3Com 3C505 Etherlink Plus
WIN/PC Route suports the following network software interfaces:
 -  Novell
 -  Netbios
 -  Network Interface   (No, I don't know what they mean by that 
either - J.G.)"


That's ALL I know about it.  Anyone got any more information 
(preferably first-hand)?  Does anyone from the Wollongong Group with 
knowledge of this program read/respond to this newsgroup?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
