Frederick: >NetWareConnect software. I hope they bundle< NetWare Connect was first available in NetWare 3.x days (when some of these youngsters were graduating from college<g>). Starting with BorderManager (known as NIAS behind the scenes), NetWare Connect was bundled with the OS and became known as Remote Access. Remote Access is a part of MOAB (MOAB is now known as NetWare 5.0) despite what that "naive" reporter from PC Week reported. Where do they find these jerks ?? From the Bordermanager feature list at novell.com "... BorderManager includes these features: Advanced proxy cache service significantly accelerates Web access performance, reduces network/intranet traffic, and offloads Web server workload by up to 90 percent. BorderManager delivers the most scalable, hierarchical caching services with a performance capacity of up to 4,055 hits per second and 85,000 active connections using Intel architecture servers. Virtual private network (VPN) services deliver secure, encrypted connections over the Internet and reduce costs for expensive dedicated private lines. Firewall services provide increased security through three levels of firewall protection that include packet filtering (Level I firewall), circuit gateways (Level II firewall), and application proxies (Level III firewall). A network address translation (NAT) service also allows unregistered IP devices to connect to the Internet. Remote access and routing services provide cost-effective, remote client dial-up connections to a company's network and secure WAN routing services. Microsystems' Cyberpatrol offers category-based content filtering to help eliminate access to objectionable Web content. Single-point of administration through NDS allows centralized, policy-based management of access privileges for inbound and outbound users, significantly simplifying administration, improving security, and reducing administrative expenses. Novell Directory Services automatically replicates security data and controls access across the entire network. NDS automates network administration, reduces administrative errors, and ensures consistent user access to intra/Internet resources. User level access controls allow organizations to define access privileges to the Internet by user, group of users, time of day, application and content category. Cross-platform support allows customers to use popular browser clients for Windows, Unix, and Macintosh to take advantage of BorderManager's unique user-level access controls. Runtime version of IntranetWare allows customers to easily deploy BorderManager services within a company's Windows NT or UNIX environment or on new servers in a Novell IntranetWare network. Netscape Navigator Version 3.01 provides the industry's leading Web Browser for client-side access. ..."
