- why is UNIX taking on a bigger role in general
corporate computing?
- cost
- mulitplatform
- scalability
- how do you get to a unix server from a DOS
PC?
- terminal emulation - packages like super
tcp/ip let you emulate unix keyboards (they are 'mapped' different
than pc keyboards)
- unix/lan integration implementation alternatives...
- there are lan operating systems that run
atop unix operating systems (UNIXWARE)
- clients can have different operating systems
(dos, os/2. mac)
- unix/lan integration implementation alternatives...
- multiple protocol stacks
- what is this? a provision for unix/lan integration.
a means to translate between tcp/ip protocol and lan protocols
within each lan-based or client pc
- special driver software to allow multiple
protocol stacks to run at the same time for a single NIC
