It recieved a favorable review in a competition with NT, Solaris and BSD/OS in a recent issue (May 1) of Network Computing. The CND was the only OS to support NetWare, WFW as well as TCP/IP networks and has Novell v3.x & v4.x administration tools (including NDS admin tools) built-in if you need a system with both TCP/IP and TRUE IPX/SPX connectivity. -- BITMAN EI > Date: Wed, 8 May 1996 16:23:50 -0500 > From: mcvickhd@audlan.state.in.us (HUGH MCVICKER) > To: "Bryan J.
