Beame & Whiteside Software Ltd, Dundas, Ontario has MultiConnect IPX, emulation software to enable an NT system function as a NetWare 3.11 server. The line includes NetWare server emulation for Windows NT and SunSoft Inc’s Solaris, and NetWare client emulation for NT. MultiConnect Server for NT enables users to move to NT file servers but retain NetWare as their network operating system, and they can avoid dedicating a computer as their NetWare server because the emulation software can reside on a user’s NT workstation, Beame says, although most users are expected to use NT as an application rather than a file server, where it requires only client software. MultiConnect Server is implemented as loadable drivers and provides file, print queue management, and bindery services. It uses the native NT or Solaris file systems but make them look to the client like the NetWare 3.11 file system. Launch is in January; no prices as yet.
