    This is something I started working on a little while ago. I have various physical hardware and legacy gear mixed in but this front-end spins up a diskless virtual machine that RPL boots from the Netware 3.12 server that is running ibm classroom lan
    administration. My goal had been (or still is) to try and create an authentic experience of how it would be logging onto networks of past times. I started working on some basic audio streaming implementations but got busy. Really only needed for games,
    which seems to be one of the few ways I am able to drag people into this old tech.

    It is running version 1.30 of IBM Classroom LAN as that is all I could find online, could not track down a newer version. My original disk/license is 1.11

    I also have a custom dosbox build with the ne2000 code I modified so it connects to a virtual ethernet switch I wrote that lives in “the cloud”, so you can boot a diskless dosbox over the internet from my physical netware server. I’ve been trying
    to stay mostly IPX, with the pburst actually not bad even over the internet, I mean it outperforms 4mbit token-ring.

    Anyway I may be losing my mind but that was one of my projects.

    Kevin,

    I saw that you setup a cloud site for ICLAS, I was just wondering where you got the 250 CAL for ICLAS and I was wondering if you had any disks or IMG that you can share with me.

    Just wondering.

    Thanks,

    Sorry to disappoint, but I did not find any other unknown copies, my version says 250 as while I was trying to figure out how the license file worked I modified it out of interest to see what I could do with it, so it is not authentic, but sharp eye
    that you saw that.

    the current latest url is https://ipx.network/v2

    Good evening, Kevin.

    I was just wondering if you can ISO your ICLAS 1.1 diskettes and send me a copy?

    Hi Chris,

    Sure I will image the v1.11 floppies I have and upload them to the archive. My 3-1/2" floppies I think one of the disks has some errors, but I also have the 5-1/4 disks for 1.11 as well thanks to Chris Lenderman.

    I have been on slow motion getting over some human malware, but I should be able to do the images this week. Is this just for having a complete archive, or are you working on some iclas stuff again?

    Kevin,

    I am looking to complete my archive of ICLAS disks. I have 1.2 and 1.3, I need to find a copy of 1.4.1
