271.0. "remote access to a PATHWORKS Server which does not have TCP/IP on it" by TOHOPE::WSA028::DOWNING_L () Mon May 05 1997 19:59


Is it possible for a remote user (Windows 95 / PATHWORKS32) to connect to shares
on a PATHWORKS Server if the server is not running TCP/IP?

Will LAT work on dial-in?

The customer will be using a PPP connection to their DECServer700.

	For ANY connection to happen there must be LIKE transports running.... so the remote end MUST speak something that the server understands. LAT does not function over PPP, Telnet will... as will CTERM over DDCMP Jeff

In that case, no. I think the easiest solution is to add TCP/IP to the destination PATHWORKS Server. If they dial in to a Windows NT RAS server with NetBEUI and the RAS server shares a network protocol with the destination PATHWORKS Server then it can be made to work. If they dial in to a DECrouter (DDCMP Server) and the destination PATHWORKS Server runs DECnet then it can be made to work. > Will LAT work on dial-in? Again, if they want to use PPP the easiest solution would be to add TCP/IP to the destination PATHWORKS Server. They could then use TELNET for multiple terminal sessions at the same time they are using file and print shares. If they dial in to a DECrouter (DDCMP Server) and the destination PATHWORKS Server runs DECnet then they can use CTERM instead of TELNET. Not all the way from the PC to the PATHWORKS Server. They can configure their DECserver 700 to act as both a terminal server and PPP server. They could connect to the DECserver 700 and have the DECserver 700 connect (via LAT) to the destination PATHWORKS Server. This will, of course, not provide access to shares.
