Chapter 4 - CompatiView 
Software Installation
All of the routers in Compatible Systems’ internetworking and VPN 
families, including all RISC Router and MicroRouter models, can be 
managed from a single GUI management platform called Compati-
View. CompatiView for Windows is included on the CD-ROM which 
was shipped with your RISC Router 3500R.
Note:
  An older version of CompatiView for Mac OS  was included 
on the CD-ROM shipped with your router, but does not contain some of 
the features of the newest Windows version.

3500R from an IBM-compatible PC running Windows 95/98 or 
Windows NT.  The PC can either be configured as an IPX client on a 
Novell NetWare internet, or as an IP WinSock client on an IP internet.
