- We have looked at both Hughes and Prolinc to do this. Both worked fine but were
- a bit too expensive. Then we switched to Vines 5.0 and were able to do the
- exact same thing using packet drivers at no cost. (You will need some memory
- manager if you plan to load both Banyan and Novell of course). You will need
- IPXPKT, which comes from Clarkson (to load IPX and a packet driver seperately).
- Other than that, you just need to load them in a certain order. You must have
- Vines Z Drive before you get any novell drives. In other words redirX must be
- loaded before netX. Then the novell login drive would be [: (the ascii char
- after Z).
- Here is an example of all this:
-
- @echo off
- cd\banyan
- wd8003e 0x60 5 0x280 0xd000
- ban /nc
- csiban
- redir4
- z:login
- c:
- cd\novell
- ipxpkt
- net4
- [:login
- rem At this point you may need to re-map some drives that conflicted with vines
- [:
- cd\public
- map x:=sys:\home
- ..................
-
- Some of the novell drives may map over the banyan drives, but all you have to do
- is re-map them to another drive and the Banyan drive is back. You may need to
- toy with the number of file handles allocated to DOS, VINES and NOVELL so you
- don't go to high.
-
- All of these issues (the order of loading the files, dealing with a [: drive,
- having to re-map manually, and working with the number of file handles) occur no
- matter how you access the two networks. The main difference is that with
- Prolinc and Hughes, they try to do most of that for you. If you have any
- specific questions you can reach me at cramerb@svm.vetmed.wisc.edu

- Thanks,
- Bob
