My original query:
In your opinion, what is the best software for:
- Xterminal emulation
- NFS
- FTP
on Windows 95 client with Sun Os server ? And with Solaris 2.4 or 2.5 ?
The answers are these:
Xterminal NFS FTP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exceed NFS Maestro Exceed or NFS Maestro
Chamaleon NetManage/X for all
Samba
Reflection for all
OnNet Packages from FTP Software for all
NCD PC-Xware
Linux CuteFTP
Some suggestions:
- I choose Hummingbird eXceed for X and Unix/Internet/TCP services. They
also make
an NFS product called Maestro. Consider your needs for NFS. If it's the
case that
you just need to move files between PCs and Suns then I would suggest
SAMBA which will provide LAN Manager protocols on your Sun.
SAMBA is freely available, check http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/.
- Don't use NFS. Instead of it install samba on your server. This is a
free software
from andrew trigell which makes your sun behave like a NT Server to which
WIN95 and
NT can connect directly. For WfW3.11 you need a free tcp/ip stack
available from
microsoft.
Samba is available by ftp from samba.anu.au in /pub/samba and on many
mirror servers
all over the world.
Look at http://samba.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/
- use Microsoft ftp using the tcp/ip stack in Win 95 with Internet Plus
Thanks to all !

There's only a one-letter difference between "networking" and "not working"
