- Currently we are investigating the provision of async access for students
- at our university to a number of Novell File Servers. We have looked at the
- Novell NACS package.
-
- Does anyone currently make use of NACS to provide async access to users. We
- would like to know how it is used. We would like to use it as follows:
- We would like the student at home to be able to connect to a specific file
- server using IPX over the async line provided by a modem connection.
-
- The NACS would "multiplex" all the IPX packets received from the modem pool
- onto the Ethernet connection.
-
- We would like to know whether this is possible. If not, what other options
- do we have.
