- This month's issue of SunWorld has a review article that might help
- answer this question:
-
- Dave Taylor, Joanna Tsang, Martin L.W. Hall
- Making the PC connection
- SunWorld 5, 9 (Sept 1992), 63-67
-
- This review is worth reading if you're interested in connecting PCs and Suns.
- It covers the following products:
-
- Pathway Access 2.0 with Client 1.1 (Wollongong)
- PC-Interface 4.10 (Locus)
- PC/TCP 2.05 with Kernel and InterDrive (FTP Software)
- BW-NFS 2.0 (Beame & Whiteside)
- PC-NFS 4.0 (SunSelect)
-
- Overall, they liked Pathway Access the best, or B&W if you're on a budget.
- PC-Interface was the quickest overall, but it was NFS-only (no FTP).
