Networking CD ROM via Novell

[Ann M. Tenglund]

We are seriously considering SCSI Express for our Netware 3.11 network.
However, we have five servers (the CD server will be our sixth), and there
is a concern that SCSI Express might be "server specific"--where a user
would have to be logged in to the CD server in order to access the
programs.  Does your university have multiple servers, and can users
seamlessly obtain access to the CD products without having to go through
another login?   (Four of our servers are on 3.11, one is on 4.1)
