Thompson) Newsgroups: comp.sys.ibm.pc Subject: Need Help (Friend #2), Framework III (Lan) WHAT NETWORK??? Keywords: FrameWork III (Lan), Vianet, Novell, Starlan Message-ID: <155@VAX1.CC.UAKRON.EDU> Date: 8 May 89 15:45:40 GMT Distribution: na Organization: U of Akron, Computer Center Lines: 28 A friend purchased Framework III (lan version) and then purchased Vianet running off of Starlan cards. After installing the network he then discovered that his FrameWork III (LAN VERSION!) did not run because he didn't have enough memory. He has only found 1 network running FrameWork III (lan version), which is Novell. At the time the person that demonstrated the network, said that he would need to buy a dedicated server. I have found since then that Novel does have a version of their network that doesn't require a dedicated server. I need more information on this! System setup: 386 Compaq (3 megs of Extended memory, wierd?) Epson Equity III+ Needs: Connect the two machines to share data and still run FrameWork Questions: 1. Can he keep the Vianet Network and still make FrameWork III work with his setup? (maybe he did something wrong in setting up Vianet?) 2. Would Novell's non-dedicated fileserver Network run FrameWork III? (where could I get information on their network). 3. IS there any other network that could do this??? -- To live is to die, to die is to live forever; GRegg Thompson Where will you spend eternity? greggt@vax1.cc.uakron.edu
