Solutions Focus

PATHWORKS V5.0 for OS/2 software ties OS/2 systems into PATHWORKS enterprise networks, using the latest OS/2 technology. It allows OS/2 systems to
act as servers and clients, using either the IBM LAN Server be a client to an OS/2, or Digital UNIX syste m running PATHWORKS server software, or lets an
OS/2 system provide full Microsoft LAN manager capabilities for Windows, Windows NT, DOS and OS/2 clients in Token Ring and Ethernet networks.

6.4.3 PATHWORKS Server and Client Software

OpenVMS servers running PATHWORKS for OpenVMS software can act as file, disk, print, and mail servers to PC clients. The most recent PATHWORKS
for OpenVMS products include: 


ú PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager): OpenVMS servers support Microsoft LAN Manager V2.2 NOS file and print services to DOS, Windows,
Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT, or OS/2 clients. PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) provides enhanced cluster support, alternative
security modes, file system improvements, and support for DECnet, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI connections. 

ú PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare): OpenVMS servers can be configured to provide services in NetWare networks. (A NetWare network is a group of
file servers, workstations, and peripheral devices such as printers that share an Ethernet wire.) One server can be connected to up to eight NetWare networks. 

ú PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Macintosh): OpenVMS servers can act as file, print, mail, and database server to Macintosh clients; client and server share
information and resources using AppleTalk and DECnet or TCP/IP connections. 

Other PATHWORK products that allow servers to act as file, print, and mail servers to PC clients over DECnet or TCP/IP connections include: 


ú PATHWORKS for DEC OSF/1 (LAN Manager) 

ú PATHWORKS for ULTRIX 

ú PATHWORKS for SCO UNIX 

ú PATHWORKS for Windows NT 

PATHWORKS client software for DOS and Windows PCs includes the following: 


ú PATHWORKS for DOS: The DOS client uses facilities provided by OpenVMS, ULTRIX, SCO UNIX, and OS/2 servers over DECnet connections. 

ú PATHWORKS for DOS (NetWare Coexistence option): The DOS clients can connect to PATHWORKS servers over DECnet or TCP/IP connections while
concurrently using the facilities provided by NetWare client software over IPX connections. 

ú PATHWORKS for DOS (TCP/IP option): DOS clients can access OpenVMS, DEC OSF/1, ULTRIX, and SCO UNIX server facilities over TCP/IP
connections. 

ú PATHWORKS for Windows NT (Client): Windows NT users can access OpenVMS, Windows NT, ULTRIX, SCO UNIX, and OS/2 servers over DECnet,
TCP/IP, and NetBEUI connections. 

The PATHWORKS for OS/2 product includes both client and server capabilities: the OS/2 server makes OS/2 file and print services available to OS/2 clients
over DECnet or TCP/IP connections. Additionally, PATHWORKS for OS/2 (TCP/IP option) software enables OS/2 clients to access OpenVMS, ULTRIX,
and SCO UNIX servers over TCP/IP connections. 

PATHWORKS configurations are flexible and can be changed easily. In most cases, PATHWORKS client software is originally stored on the server and
downline loaded over the network to the PC when the PC is booted. The PC user can connect to a particular PATHWORKS server. PC clients can be
connected to multiple servers at the same time. 

Configuration changes, such as the addition of new PATHWORKS clients and servers, do not cause disruption to the PC user environment.
