        Dear TCP/IPers,

        In the past year, the number of microcomputers on our campus has
  exploded.  We see every type of microcomputer, with the largest number
  being IBM and Apple.  Currently we have a IBM lab (20 50zs), a Apple
  lab (10 SEs), and anticipate Unix workstations in the near future. Mail
  and Academics are done on a Vax Cluster, Administration is done on two
  HP3000s.  We now need to look at networking everything, or do we?  So far,
  we have decided to install a Local Talk network, with either Apple Share
  or Tops for the MACs.  Being new to network environments, I have two
  questions.

        Functionally, what does a TCP/IP network give us?
        What experiences have you had working with TCP/IP?



                                I appreciate your input, thank you,

                                        James Jankowski
