Used to do a lot of Netware installs all over NJ and
in NYC a lot too...
Did a great install at M&M Mars where we connected in their existing Dec
Vaxes to some new Novell 3.12 servers we installed... man that was a lot
of fun!!!
Did you have some sort of IPX-based communication going on with the
VAXen?
Did an install once where I hooked up a Novell
Netconnect
server with 4 sessions up to a Wang Mini so that they could connect to
it over their IPX/SPX network to PC's running a remote client and they
were able to replace the Wang workstations... There was this cool
hardware/software add-on we did for a printing firm, you had 2 3.12
servers side by side with this SFT solution called an "Octopus" and
basically it kept on identical server in standby, always mirroring the
active server and if it lost its ping check to the active server, it
would go active, take over the IPX address and name and the users would
never know anything, it kept going flawless, it was pretty neat, worked
a lot better then Novells own SFT solution.
Neat!
I had a bunch of IPX to Localtalk bridge cards at one
time, I wish I'd
kept them :-(
Oh, they'd make for some fun on a rainy Sunday afternoon. :)
