Setting Up Your PC
PC Remote Access Software
Ensure you know whether the network access server port you are dialing in to
requires you to enter a login password or logs directly in to the local user
interface. If this is the case, you will need to use terminal emulation to
communicate with the access server following modem connection.
Ensure you know whether the network access server port requires a PPP/PAP
password. If so, you will have to configure the password on your remote node
access software.
Reference
Refer to the documentation included with your PC remote node access software
for installation and setup procedures.
Novell Workstation Software
Novell NetWare workstation software (or equivalent) must be installed on your
PC. This makes it possible to establish and maintain IPX network connections.
Reference
Refer to your Novell Installation Guide for Workstations and the documentation
included with your PC remote node access software for more information.
Novell Utilities for Local Execution
After a remote node access connection is made to a Novell fileserver, ensure that
the Novell utilities you need are stored locally on your PC. This is because
activating large executables from a network disk can result in long load times due
to the relatively slower speed of the serial line. See the Novell Operation section
in this chapter for more information.
