NDS Utility Listing
===================
Revised: July 20, 1996    
If you find inaccuracies or updates needed, please send to 
dcollins@fastlane.net


Below is a partial list of vendors that have Network utilities pertaining
to Netware 4.10 NDS administration.   It is not a recommendation list.
It is only a list of packages that I have heard support NDS.   
The description text is from their own materials.
If you have some additional links or software that you would like me to
add to this list... let me know via email.


For companies that have web-pages, I will also have 'links' to their
sites listed on my web page at: http://www.fastlane.net/homepages/dcollins/
In addition, there are links there for additional support and utility
pages.
  
If you are looking for 'yet' more Netware 3.x utilities and a reliable 
Network menu system, then contact Net Enhancment Inc. at 1-713-446-6727.  
They have a number of items that help 'clamp' down the security on your 
network. Everything from software password keys to utilities that will keep
users out of database directories while they are not using the 'preferred'
app database.  We are just a happy customer.
