I have a couple of questions dealing with Ethernet LAN software. We (the Math/Stats Dept. at the University of Guelph) have an Ethernet network consisting of IBM PC's (XT's, AT's, clones) with 3 Com cards installed. We have a DN3000 running Domain IX with the COM-ETH product acting as a gateway. Currently we are able to log in from the PC's to the Apollo via telnet and transfer files via ftp. We would like to have the Apollos act as a file server for the PC's. Two approaches that could be taken are: 1) Install Apollo's version of NFS on the Apollo and attempt to find a version of NFS for the PC (SUN has PC-NFS, are there others?), or 2) Wait for a version of Apollo's PCI product which works with Ethernet hardware. I would appreciate comments from anyone who has tried approach 1) and comments as to when (or if) approach 2) will be available. If anyone has a totally different approach, please enlighten me. Thanks, John.
