Let's say there is an existing Novell/PC Network of about 150 PCs. (ethernet) I want to put a FreeBsd x86/Pentium Internet server at the same site, connected via a leased ISDN line. I want to connect 30 PCs or so to the Unix Machine each with their own static IP addresses, so that probably means I'll need to get all of the stars X.X.X.* and one of these stars X.X.*.* I would like to use the existing ethernet infrastructure. How could I do this? There will be one router from the ISDN line to the FreeBsd box. Would I just hook up the Internet Server to the main HUB and then any PC configured to one of the static IP addresses could connect to the Unix machine via SLIP? How about just a shell type login? I would need tcp/ip packet drivers but would these be installed over the Netware shell? Thanks in advance. -- John Avery <URL:http://www.mordor.com/avery/djtraxx> <URL:http://www.mordor.com/averyjohn>
