- products, specifically NetWare 386 with NetWare Name Service
- and Banyan with Global Naming Service, that can be sent to
- customers?

- a comparison to Banyan Vines with Street Talk in the Name
- Service Sales Guide.
-
- Q) Which IBM Bridges do the Source Routing drivers for Token-
- Ring work with?
-
- A) With all three IBM Bridges (both versions), you have to

-
- Q) Do the latest Token-Ring Source Routing drivers support
- limiting which bridges the packets will cross?
