Well actually...I have a 3270 card on one beast for direct IBM Mainframe comm,
not hooked up because the IBM OS/360 would drain too much juice here in the
North West, and besides, have you ever worked with old IBM BUS and TAG cables?
I DO have an old Compaq Proliant Novell server (EISA based tech) and used to
run Netware 3.0 on it, but apps like SYSCON and RCONSOLE were too much like
work!
I have run traditional Arpnet, and other early stuff (that is why I have but
don't use a TOPS Net setup), but again: I am a network hobbyest, not
masochist ;)
I forgot to mention on my page: I have a Apple Laserwriter IIg I built from 3
seperate printers (2 Apple, and an HP) on the Ethertalk side witha 40 meg
drive on its SCSI port for extra fonts, plus a Imagewriter II on one of the
Localtalk runs also networked in. I can get to either from bot the PC side
and the Apple Side (and the Laserwriter is the ONLY one I can get to from
BeOS!).
I played with Windows NT 3.1 briefly, but it was limiting.
My interest is in getting any beast from S100 BUS to a modern Athelon to chat
and at the least pass files.
But, my main love is the Apple II. A read of here over the last year or 3
will show there are actually MANY Apple II network solutions (Digicard,
Appletalk, LANceGS, original Apple Ethernet cards:somebody has those out
there!, and others.
Apple II is cool, and a network geek's dream
