WIN/TCP for DOS, which is the user package, features FTP. FTP Daemon, Telnet, TN3270 (works NICE!) and WIN/ROUTE, which is a router that runs in a PC with 2 LAN cards ... on to your TCP/IP backbone and one to your Novell LAN. These packages use special drivers to run TCP/IP over IPX (or Netbios). Thus there is no need for packet drivers. And you can use it on ARCnet or token-ring or whatever ... the IPX drivers hide the underlying Novell LAN details from the TCP/IP code. It works VERY nicely indeed, and with WIN/ROUTE 2.1 (which I am Beta testing), it works across Novell internal bridges too. *------------------------------------+----------------------* |Larry Bradley | LARRY@VM.NRC.CA | |Communications Manager | Larry.Bradley@NRC.CA | |National Research Council of Canada | LARRY@NRCVM01 | |Networks Branch | | |M60, Montreal Road | (613)993-0240 | |Ottawa, Canada K1A 0R6 | FAX:(613) 954-2561 | *------------------------------------+----------------------*
