Peter, PMJI re. your problem of using Nautilus on CDROM on Novell, but what are you using as your LAN CD product, e.g., SCSI EXPRESS, CD-NET, OPTI-NET, and is it the newer NLM version? We're about to select on of these for our Novell LAN, and it is precisely this…
Dan, Re: Folio Views I'm not using Folio Views for CDs (yet), but we are using it as our free text database for fairly large text files, e.g., 12 MB, and on a 350 node LAN, access is usually less than a second. Very impressive. We very much like the…
Kevin, If you're not already aware, Folio has just opened a CompuServe Forum. GO FOLIO. There's not much traffic there yet, but I presume it'll grow as more people find out about it. I'm not a publisher and I'm not a "Folio Consultant" – – just an MIS manager who's…
Arnold, Thanks for info – – I'll try to find a copy of LAN Times magazine and I'll download MSCDEX from Lib 4 before we decide. // Gerry
Phil, Thanks for info on the Library of Congress setup. A couple of questions: 1. You say you use the Opti-Net software. Are you happy with it, and had you considered others such as CD Net or SCSI Express? 2. What kind of LAN are you using, Netware? LAN Manager?…
#OPTI-NET
Message #36892

Thanks, Frank Like I said to Jim from MDI in the previous message, I'm concerned about building a corporate CD solution based on a product that won't run ALL CDs. Being told that SCSI Express will run "most" CDs because most of them don't "really" require MSCDEX leaves me uncomfortable.…
Jim, Thanks for the very clear explanation on the extent that SCSI Express may or may not be able to work with all CDs that claim to require MSCDEX. I must say that this leaves me a bit concerned, as I hate to go out and spend big bucks to…
Phil, What kind of CD LAN setup is LC using? i.e., we're trying to decide how best to CD equip our LAN (Novell) and seem to have narrowed our search between SCSI Express and OPTI-NET. I'd be interested in knowing have LC configured things up. Tanx for sharing … //…
#SCSI Express
Message #36672
Jim / MDI: PMJI. We had "talked" here a little while ago on whether SCSI Express would still be able to use CDs that require MSCDEX (just about all CDs claim to need this). You explained that it would "probably" run "most" even though SCSI Express does not use MSCDEX,…
