176.0. "win 3.11 to mvax connection" by MKTCRV::MANNERINGS () Thu Mar 20 1997 09:24

    A customer wants to connect a windows 3.11 pc to a microvax running
    ovms. pw32 does not support w 3.11 according to the spd, but the
    question is whether the kit contains older sw which would do the job?

Kevin,

Firstly, the answer is, "Yes, you can connect DOS, Windows 3.x, Macintosh, OS/2,
Windows 95, and Windows NT clients to a MicroVAX running OpenVMS".

However, in order to answer your real question, "How do I connect...", you 
need to be more specific.  What do you mean by "connect"?  

	a. Do you want to map a drive or define a connected printer as your
	   PC printer?

	b. Do you simply need Terminal emulation?

	c. Do you need DECnet, LAT, or some other transport not included with
	   WfW/Windows 3.11?

	d. How many PC's and how many OpenVMS systems are involved?

Please tell us more and we'll tell you how an what to buy.

    ...and in some of those cases, the answer will be "PATHWORKS for DOS and
    Windows v6.0", about which you can read in the NOTED::PWDOSWINV5 
    Notesfile.
176.3V6.0 PW Client to WinNT server with PW32 SUPPORTED!JAMIN::TELESETSKYFri Mar 21 1997 17:099
    
    
    Using PATHWORKS V6.0 for DOS/Windows, it has been recently verified
    that you can map shares to a Win NT server running PW32.
    (i.e. NET USE X: etc. or MAP DRIVE ...)
    Various v6.0 configurations running WFW or Win 3.x can see and use
    the Win NT server running PW32.
