- Novell, no routing server. Login, random unless you hard code it (a
- real pain for lab machines servicing people on several servers).

- Mark, Jergen:

- Again, I must disagree. Vines isn't the "worst" as far as multiple
- servers go, it's the best. The problems you stated in AppleTalk and
- Novell are PREVENTED by Vines' mandatory communications system. I
- think we can ask for whatever changes we might want, but I don't think
- it's rational to critisize Vines for trying to be a WAN as much as
- possible. I think it is a very good thing that people can't put
- isolated unconnected Vines servers on my network.
