Ok, since I still have not installed Netware, i'm wondering what is the best
way to do what I want to do. It seems that many people are swaying me from
Netware v4.x because it's very complex for my needs.
Here's what I have.
Machines with 10base-T combo ethernet cards.
5 port mini stackable hub with wires etc to connect everything.
Now, I wish to have one machine setup as sort of a server from which my other
machine can access data. I would like to be able to store my BBS files
(including the bbs software, and the file archives 'zips, etc') on the
achine
and be able to run the modems and stuff from a seperate machine or 2
machines. I want to put my scsi card on this machine so I can run my 2
7-disc CD changers, single scsi cd-rom, and my CDR to make cd's of the files
from the BBS and for personal use. Later to get another SCSI card for my
main machine.
I want to be able to access everything from my main machine when I hook it up
so I can transfer stuff back and forth easier than having to backup stuff to
tape then restore it on the other machine.
I want to be able to play multiplayer games across the LAN with my
machines, and or any friend's machines that we hook up to it.
I would like to possibly (in a year+) get a T1 (or a partial T) if I can, and
have that for an internet feed since I use the damn thing so much :) I would
like to be able to pass access to the T1 connection on to some friends who
would split the cost using either PPP or whatever through a dialup. I'm not
sure if it would grow into an ISP, but to split it between friends would
definately be something for the future to cut the cost.
So, what software do I use? :)
