Systems to be networked include PC's (>100) and several unix systems (~6). The PC's need access to file servers, 3270 gateways, and direct access to other unix systems on the network. We want a unix-based network OS and are currently looking at Banyan Vines to run on a 386 box or a Banyan server. Does anyone have any experience to share regarding Vines or similar products? Any input regarding Token Ring vs. Ethernet would also be appreciated. Please reply via E-Mail and I will post a summary. car. -- Christopher A.
