- DECadvantage ╤ SMB Server provides file and printer services to Personal
- Computers. These services are based on the X/Open Develpment Specification:
- Protocols for X/Open PC Interworking: SMB. DECadvantage ╤ SMB Server uses
- NetBIOS to communicate between MS-DOS based PCs and SCO UNIX-based servers. The
- SMB protocol is used as the high-level command language between the requestor
- (the PC) and the server, while the underlying protocols can be OSI or
- TCP/IP
-
- The included file services provide DOS users with a remote file system that
- appears to DOS as just another disk drive, which can be accessed using standard
- DOS commands. Applications and data can be stored on the UNIX file system, thus
- creating a common shared file system for a group of workstations in a network.
- Users can "attach" to file services within the network, and share their own
- remote files and directories with other network users. Printer services
- included offer the DOS user access to the shared printing facilities of UNIX by
- simply printing to the standard DOS printer devices. SMB Server for
- DECadvantage redirects the print output to the appropriate UNIX printer
- spooler. In addition to the file and printer services DECadvantage ╤ SMB Server
- provides a remote execution facility that allows DOS users access to native,
- noninteractive UNIX software.
