I'm about to get a few starlan cards for the UNIX-pc (aka 3B1, 7300, etc).
The UNIX-pc starlan cards are supposed to talk (what I've heard is
refered to as) "starlan 1" -- or 1mb/sec (rather than the 10mb/sec of
the "new" starlan).
Since I know very little about starlan, does someone out there know if:
1. starlan cards for PC compatibles will talk to the UNIX-pc
starlan boards properly? If there are only specific cards,
which ones? Where can I get them? What is the cost?
2. Will the UNIX-pc talk to the PC the same as UNIX-pc to UNIX-pc?
What I would like to do is wire three 3B1s and 2 PC compatibles (one
runs Interactive 386/ix, the other runs DOS) together on the same network.
The DOS machine will supposedly talk to the UNIX machines using kermit 3.01
and some kind of driver. I only know a little about what will happen
with the PC running Interactive UNIX. The UNIX-pcs are no problem.
If anyone out there has set-up such a configuration, I would appreciate
hearing what you did and how you did it. Any kind of clarification of
terms (if I screwed-up, and I probably did) would also be helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Gil.
