Not true. the UnixWare implementation is missing a few bits for the time being. Unix Review (May'93) had an article on UnixWare where they mentioned that that "Univel only only implemented part of the necessary NetWare Service Advertising Protocol SAP in UnixWare, so a real [sic] Novell server is needed for its bindery. [...] The same incomplete SAP implementation also makes it impossible for a DOS client to use the SPX/IPX protocols to talk directly to a UnixWare machine. I guess Univel wants people to go on buying Novell servers instead/as-well. **vp ----------------------------------- Vassilis Prevelakis | vp@csi.forth.gr Thoukididou 10A | old style address: Plaka, Athens 105 58 | ...!mcvax!ariadne!vp GREECE | Tel. +30 1 32 32 867 | FAX +30 1 72 24 603
