Hi! I'm thinking of having a pc with a cd unit attached to it, in each of the Company's departments, so as to lend it as a resource to other users. We're using Novell Netware 3.21, and I'd like to know how should I make the connections, in terms of software, and if it's necessary to make this pc work as a dedicated server, or not. If you have any other suggestions about having cds spread all around a wan, I'd be pleased to learn on them. Thank you in advance.

You might want to try our SCSI Express for NetWare 386. Allows you to have a CD-ROM as NetWare volume (no need for a separate machine, works in your existing server). If you're interested email me your address and I'll have some literature sent to your or you can call and ask to speak to a salesperson.

For sure, I'd like to get more information on your products. Our mail address is : Cia. Naviera Perez COmpanc Maipu 1 Buenos Aires (1599) Argentina And my name is Monica Quevedo. If your'able to, please don't send it by ordinary mail, it could never arrive!! By the way, what I actually try to do is to connect cd units to a pc on each department, not to the file server. That's why I need to know if it is needed to have a dedicated server on each dept. to make it work. And if you have any local representatives, I'd be pleased to hear from them. Thank you in advance. Regards. Monica
