Re: Can I dial to a NT server with RAS and then connect to AS/400 via CAWIN 95???

Stanley,

        I don't have hands experience with the RAS server but know am familiar
with the product.  Probably easiest and cheapest solution would be to
stick with TCP/IP and go with the RAS server on the host side and on the
client side use Client Access configured for TCP/IP and the Win95/NT PPP
dialer for your connection method. 

        You can configure the Win95/NT PPP dialer to support NetBEUI, IPX/SPX
and TCP/IP.  Just turn off what you don't need.  If you are at v4.xx on
your Novell servers then they support TCP/IP.

        This is the route I'm going with on our dial-in network, minus the RAS
server.  I'm even going to implement this for our Internet connections
and run Client Access over the Internet.  Naturally we are going to put
in a firewall first (Raptor Eagle) and use encryption software at the
client side.
