Date: Fri, 21 Feb 97 11:59 GMT From: Computer Science University of Jaffna Sri Lanka To: dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu Dear Sir, We have some IBM Compatible 80286 and 80386 SX Personel Computers in our Computer Laboratory. Nowdays, we do not use these computers for any purpose. As such I wish to connect these computers to "FreeBSD Server" by using Ethernet Cards (NE 2000) to be used as "Intelligent Terminals". For the server for FreeBSD, we use Dell 2100/180 File Server. Also that, there are some IBM PS/Value Point Personel Computers (486 SX) could be used as "Work Stations" (with Disk and without Disk) for the above server Please advice me, how could I connect these Personel Computers to the FreeBSD UNIX Server by using Ethernet Cards (NE 2000) with the following configuration (1) i286 & i386 SX as Intelligent Terminals (2) i486 as "Work Stations" on the Net work (booting over the Net work) I shall be thankful if you could help me in this regard Thanking You Yours Sincerely K.S.Selvarajan
