[HECnet] NetWare and DECnet

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

It had support for ethernet too: 10 Mb/s media only IIRC.
DECnet got started and replaced the physical address of the NIC with the AA-00-04-00-xx-xx DECnet address 
The user had no control over the latter. That was introduced later when Windows 2000 was released.

IIRC DECnet for Netware was a separately sold item of the Pathworks product suite. It was DECnet for pc's running Netware, as basic Pathworks was DECnet for PC-DOS and MS-DOS pc's or DECnet for the Macintosh. 
It brought DECnet connectivity to PC's running Netware; it had support for 4 and 16 Mb/s tokenring adapters. Tokenring puts bits in a different order on the wire so AA-00 addresses became 55-00 addresses.

Ahhh.   Did it support non-tokenring as well? Was it a loadable module a user could define manually as a binding on the NIC?

Hi!

As I've already gotten a bunch of my NT systems on HECnet, I thought i'd try a new beast: old NetWare.
