Using Excelan EXOS 205T cards, a MS-DOS based pc can run Novell and TCP/IP simultainiously. The only big problem is with dumb ethernet cards using NCSA Telnet. They cannot do both simultainously. With MS-Windows 386 I can have mutiple telnet sessions open while ftp'ing from UNIX to a Novell lan server. The only box we have been unable to get online with everything else is a MacII. -- Paul Moody UUCP: rutgers!cscnj!paul Computer Sciences Corporation # the opinions expressed are entirely imaginary #
