- ===================
- Revised: July 20, 1996
- If you find inaccuracies or updates needed, please send to
- dcollins@fastlane.net
-
-
- Below is a partial list of vendors that have Network utilities pertaining
- to Netware 4.10 NDS administration. It is not a recommendation list.
- It is only a list of packages that I have heard support NDS.
- The description text is from their own materials.
- If you have some additional links or software that you would like me to
- add to this list... let me know via email.
-
-
- For companies that have web-pages, I will also have 'links' to their
- sites listed on my web page at: http://www.fastlane.net/homepages/dcollins/
- In addition, there are links there for additional support and utility
- pages.
-
- If you are looking for 'yet' more Netware 3.x utilities and a reliable
- Network menu system, then contact Net Enhancment Inc. at 1-713-446-6727.
- They have a number of items that help 'clamp' down the security on your
- network. Everything from software password keys to utilities that will keep
- users out of database directories while they are not using the 'preferred'
- app database. We are just a happy customer.
