- Hi, I'm posting this for a friend, Please reply to
- alen@crash.cts.com or post here (where he will look).
-
- Alen's request for information...
- I have a bunch of 486s running OS/2 connected via an IBM Token Ring
- (using a LAN Adaptor card in each). The main node in this net will
- be connected to a central machine (via ethernet and TCP/IP). I need
- to access terminal sessions on the central machine from any of the 486s.
- The central machine is likely to be a VAX w/VMS but may turn out (in some
- cases) to be an IBM connected via SNA (LU6.2 capable).
-
- Given these 2 scenarios, can anyone out there in NetLand advise me where
- to look for bridging software across the OS/2 (NetBios) -> TCP/IP
- VAX and across OS/2 (NetBios) -> SNA?
-
- What kind of hardware requirements are there?
-
- The main interest is in getting live terminal sessions from OS/2
- PM windows on each PC node. There is some need for file and/or data
- transfer, so leaving these options open would be a plus.
-
- Thanks in advance
