- Hi Netware people! Gotta a few questions about remote Netware access:
-
- 1) I am aware of a few dial-in access servers for Netware which
- allow a user to dial in from a remote location and use all of the
- network resources (i.e. programs, print services, e-mail)
- as if they were logged in locally. Is anyone using these? If so,
- any complaints? Good things? Bad things? How about performance?
-
- 2) Is there any way to perform such magic (as in 1) via the Internet?
- In particular, if I am at location X and logged in to a UNIX
- host, I would like to be able to log in as a Netware user and run
- say Oracle off of the Novell server or WordPerfect, etc at
- some other location on the Internet.
-
- 3) If this is possible, what type of HW and SW is needed and what
- might performance be like?
-
-
- I am putting together a network using Novell Netware 3.xx. The focus is
- on client/server systems using the NLM version of Oracle and SQL*Net for
- IPX/SPX. As you might have guessed, we have users in a remote location
- with plenty of access to university machines. I would hate to make them
- dial in from such a great distance so we would like to try to use the
- Internet to close the gap a bit.
-
- Many thanks,
-
