You will need to add a tcp/ip stack to each PC (unless you switch to
Windows95, which has one built in) and assign each PC an IP address. WRQ
has a fine one they can sell you. However, you probably already have a
license for one from Novell as part of Netware 4.1. You don't have to
use tcp/ip on the Netware server, but use the tcp/ip stack Novell provides
as part of the Novell client kit (the tcp/ip is a separate disk and a
separate install, done after the normal ipx client install).

Yes. Works great.  One note, however, your 3000 DTC network traffic will
be repeated over the LAN network and the other way around, also, LAN traffic
over the DTC network. This will be ok unless you have network bandwidth
problem or you have security concerns about the DTC packets being "seen"
from a PC running network analzer software. Since the data in the network
packet is in plain text, this can be an easy security breach.

Good Luck. BTW the folks at WRQ can help with the details of the PC
configuration for the tcp/ip stack, if you go that way.
