- ----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- I hope that someone can provide some assistance on the following issue.
-
- We currently have an 802.3 Ethernet LAN at our main campus to which several
- terminal servers and two VAXen are connected. We also have off-campus sites
- that are running NetWare over 10BaseT. Users at the remote sites can access the
- VAXen on the main campus via a 56Kb line.
-
- The problem is that located at each of the off-campus sites is a PC/CD-ROM
- unit that is dedicated to a software package called Infotrac. We also have one
- of these units located at the main campus. What we would like to do is have one
- PC/CD-ROM unit that runs Infotrac OR a VMS based alternative that utilize CD-ROM
- that is connected to the 802.3 Ethernet LAN so that periodical searches can be
- performed from one unit that is connected to the LAN.
-
- Does anyone know of such a solution? If so, please contact me. This has
- the potential to save the college some money (hopefully)...
