- We've decided to go for LWP for DOS, to connect our PC's running Windows
- on a Novell network with TR adaptors, to a UNIX box with an Ethernet
- adaptor. Am I right in assuming that Novell's MPR 2.0 will support
- routing for this scenario?
-
- Another key question, which may be related to TCP/IP support for Sybase
- clients -- I consider TCP/IP to be inherently insecure, unless run with
- e.g. Kerberos. Question: will Kerberos work with LWP, and is anyone
- using this in a client/server environment with Sybase?
