I´m not a dynamic routing expert, so maybe someone could help
me a bit.

Which routing protocol is available for 
	- Cisco´s
	- Livingston Portmasters
	- NT 4.0 Server
	- Netware 3 and 4 Servers.

I´d like to use OSPF for our companies internal network but fear,
that NT doesn´t support this.

Our network will look like this in the near future:

Backbone Router (3com or such)
|  |  |  |     | | | |
4-6 100 MBit Segments
|  |  |  |     | | | |
|  |  |  |     | | | |
               | 4-6 10 MBit Segments
               | | | +---------- Dial up network customers
               | | +------------ Dial up network company
               | +-------------- Internet Gateway Segment
               +------ externel Network carrier
                             |
			Cisco Router (2503)
                             |
                        Frame Relay (Network of external Carrier)
                             |
			Cisco Router (2503)
                             |
                    +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
                    |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
                             |        |  R-- Our ext. Office 1
                             |        R----- Our ext. Office 2
                             |     ...
                             R-----NT MPR--- Our ext. Office 3 with
                                   +  +      NT Server as Router
                                   |  |
                                   |  +---- LAN 1 in ext. Office 3
                                   +------- LAN 2 in ext. Office 3

What dynamic Routing protocol would be best in this situation ?
If our Offices get subnets of their own, it would be fine not
having to deal with static routes. I´m sure, that a NT 4.0 Server
will become a router in the offices, to create 2 or 3 subnetworks.

So I think we have to use an interior routing protocol, that is
supported by most or all components.

	- Should I use rip or OSPF ???
	- Does NT Support OSPF ???
	- What´s better, RIP or OSPF ???
	- Any good source of information ???

Thanks in advance
