I am considering to use Netcom for a small Lan, however I will need to have computers in different locations access a server. I was told by the makers of netcom I would need an IPX router. Couldn't I use something like NFS to remotely mount a directory? Basically what I have in mind is: -Netcom on location A -Netcom on location B -Mount directory from location A on location B -Give access to users in location B to remotely mapped directory using netcon. Any better approaches/suggestions? I am thinking of netcon because the users will be connected using Dos, win95 and possibly NT in the near future. What would be a secure way of doing this? Could one computer dial directly to the server to mount a directory? Could this be done safely through the internet? --_=_=_=IMA.BOUNDARY.HTML_4862544=_=_=_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <HTML> <FONT SIZE="2" POINTSIZE="10"><FONT FACE="Courier" DEFAULT="FACE">--NOTE: For those not familiar with the product netcon, it allows Dos, Win95 and NT computers access FreeBSD as a file server using IPX.<BR> <BR> I am considering to use Netcom for a small Lan, however I will need to have computers in different locations access a server.
