IBM:
----
IBM has released(3/92) NetWare for AIX/6000, which enables RS/6000
systems to act as servers for NetWare LANs. Based on NetWare for
UNIX 3.11, it enables MS-DOS, Windows, OS/2 and AIX/6000 users to
share information and resources. Files and directories reside in
an hierarchical directory tree managed by AIX/6000, and this
enables Version 3.11 to use Native NetWare features.
NetWare redirects network print jobs to the AIX/6000 spooler or
local printers and PC users can share the same printers as other
AIX/6000 users. NetWare for AIX/6000 supports NetWare APIs like
SPX. Terminal based applications are supported from PC terminal
emulation software to provide access to AIX/6000 and with Novell
Virtual Terminal, MS-DOS and Windows users gain access to AIX/6000
applications.
Price: $5,500 for 1-10 users. $8,000 FOR 1-20 users. $13,000 for
1-100 users. $25,000 for 1-250 users.
Prime
-----
PrimeService has released Connection NetWare for Sparc, which
enables NetWare clients to access the functionality of the
Sparc operating environment from PC, OS/2 and Macintosh computing
platforms. Based on NetWare for UNIX, Connection is a version
of the NetWare 3.01 LAN operating system and is interopable
with NetWare. The software connects different operating to
enable users to access and share applicaitons, data and
print services, and communicate with computers outside NetWare
LANs.
It is backward compatible with NetWare v2.1, PrimeService's
SMTP/MHS e-mail and SPX/IPX to TCP/IP gateway, and supports
Novell's Virtual Terminal communications.
Price: $5,795
Data General
------------
Data General has ported Action Technologies' MHS to its RISC-based
AViiON, allowing the UNIX system to act as a messaging engine for
NetWare LAN's using MHS.
In porting MHS to the AViiON, DG added several capabilities not
possible for users on the PC. One of the key performance features
is the ability to have multiple simultanceous remote connections
to other MHS servers. This means messages can be transfer to
multiple servers at the same time, either on the same LAN or
across a WAN, whereas with a dedicated PC MHS engine (which
can only communicate with other server at a time), they would
have to be sent sequentially through connections to multiple
servers.
