- I have a PC Workstation(s) and want to access UNIX
- I want to use my UNIX to access a PC Workstation(s)
- I want my PC(s) to become X-Terminal(s) for X-Windows
Server
- I need to use my PC(s) as both X-Terminal(s) and NFS Client(s)
- I have a Windows NT Server that has numerous PC workstations
on its network, can I have them all access UNIX through the NT Server?
- I have a Windows NT Server that has numerous PC
workstations on its network that need to access UNIX. I also need the UNIX
workstations to access the PCs. Is there a solution for this?

In this situation, what you probably need
is an NFS Client that will allow you to access and utilize the NFS resources from the PC
environment. By installing an NFS Client on the PC, the user of that PC can mount
and use the UNIX drives and resources as if they were local to the PC environment.
The product(s) we offer for this
solution is(are):
- [FN-515] Omni-Lite for Windows 95/98
(Includes: NFS Client and LPR/LPD)
- [FNT-506] Omni-NFS Enterprise for
Windows NT/95/98
(Full suite includes: NFS Client, FTP, VT420, LPD/LPR, plus more)
The solution for this one is simple.
Simply install an NFS server software in each of the PCs you need to access from the UNIX
environment. For every PC you need to access, make sure you install an NFS server
software in each one. By doing so, you can export the PC resources and allow the
UNIX boxes to become clients of the PC environment. XLink's NFS server products
include remote printing capabilities with LPD.

- [FN-504] Omni-NFS Server for Windows
NT/95/98
(Includes: NFS Server and LPD)
We have one of the most cost-effective
solutions for administrators who need X-Terminals, yet are reluctant to spend ridiculous
amounts of money for dedicated dummy terminals (makes you wonder where the name
"dummy" comes from doesn't it?). What the X-server software does is that
it converts the PC station into a X-Terminal station that can operate X-Windows as if it
were UNIX X-Windows server itself. In essence, the PC becomes a terminal emulator
for the X-Windows environment.

is(are):
- [XW-402] Omni-X for Windows NT/95/98
(Includes: X-Server, VT420, FTP, and RSH)
Since the probability of administrators who
need PCs as X-Terminals as well as NFS Clients is pretty high, XLink has a software
package that includes both X-Server and NFS Client. The reason to have a PC with
both X-Terminal and NFS Client capability is because since the X-Windows is in the UNIX
environment, the PC user may need to access certain files or resources while emulating
X-Windows. XLink provides this convenience by combining X-Server and NFS Client in
one simple package.

- [XFT-406] Omni-NFS/X Enterprise for
Windows NT/95/98
(Full suite includes: NFS Client/X-Server, VT420, LPD/LPR, and more)
If you have a Windows network that is
connected by a Windows NT Server, you can have the entire network have access to UNIX by
installing one NFS gateway software on the NT Server. What the NFS gateway software
does is that it allows the NT Server or Servers (by utilizing multiple NT Servers you can
increase bandwith between the PCs and UNIX) to act as a "gateway" between the
the PC and UNIX environments. With the NFS gateway, you only need to do one
installation on the NT Server(s) and immediately have all PCs connected to UNIX via that
NT Server.
This solution is ideal for those who have large PC networks that access the UNIX
environment sporadically. In other words, before purchasing the NFS gateway
software, make sure you indicate the total number of concurrent users that need to access
UNIX at any given point in time. (e.g. I have a network consisting of 100
workstations, but only a maximum of maybe 25-users will actually access UNIX at the same
time. In this case, I would only need NFS gateway for 25-users not 100)
The product(s) we offer for this
solution is(are):
- [GT-101] Omni-NFS Gateway for
Windows NT Server
(Full suite includes: NFS Client Gateway, FTP, VT420, LPD/LPR, and more)
XLink is probably the only company right
now to offer this solution. By incorporating both NFS Client AND Server in one
installation, the NFS Dual Gateway is the TOTAL PC-to-UNIX integrating solution for
those seeking to do so through a Windows NT Server. Through just one installation on
the NT Server, multiple PCs can access the UNIX files and resources at once, and UNIX
stations can access the PC workstations as well. This is the perfect solution for
networks that have average bandwith requirements that have users on both sides of the coin
(PC/UNIX).
As with the NFS gateway, only one
installation per Windows NT Server is required after which, depending on the number of
concurrent users specified, PCs on the Windows network can access UNIX resources.
UNIX stations can access PCs by mounting the NT server that has information about each
individual PCs on the PC network.
The product(s) that we offer for this
solution is(are):
- [GT-102] Omni-NFS Dual Gateway for
Windows NT Server
(Full suite includes: NFS Client/Server Gateway, FTP, VT420, LPD/LPR, and more)
