TCP/IP Questions.....

[Brian Gillis]

Hello Bit Fans,
I am researching the possibility of creating a TCP/IP network in
an office to share various printers and other devices.  However,
many questions exist that I have not been able to iron out.

1) Has anyone attempted or know how to perform a Xenix Tar backup
   through a TCP/IP connection from a Xenix/386 to a ibm PC with a 
   tape drive or Iomega cartridge system?

2) What incredible benefits does installing a TCP/IP network have?

3) Has anyone finally managed to get Xenix to play fileserver for
   a Novell Network.  Does Novell realize how much $$ they could make.
   
4) How well can a TCP/IP share printers and other output devices
   between other Xenix !AND! IBM-PC's connected to the network.

I hope the answers to these questions interest others as well. While
SCO has been making noise about their TCP/IP product, I have seen little
information on how it can be used and implemented.

Thank You!
