Hello all,

        I seem to remember this question being asked as while back,
but I can't remember the answer, and of course, now, I need it. :-)
Situation:
        One room Lab with about 18 computers (AT class or less) as
                workstations. (thinnet)
        Server is 386SX based running SFT (I don't remember the
                version, but it's very recent)
        The ethernet backbone cable (to tcp/ip hosts) is running down
                the hall right outside the lab.

Question: what's the best way and/or least expensive way to get to
        the tcp/ip hosts:

        1.  use a bridge from thinnet to thicknet and packet drivers
                at the workstations. ??
        2.  use another nic in the server to tie to the backbone, and
                some gateway software (which software?) ??
        3.  some other method ??

Thanks for any info.
