Network Operating System. An operating system that can handle a network of connected computers. Examples include Microsoft's Windows NT, Artisoft's LANtastic, Novell's Netware, IBM's OS/2 and UNIX. Prior to NOSs, network communication had to be added onto an existing OS, Microsoft LAN Manager was an add-on to DOS, Windows 3.X, OS/2, and UNIX.

A network operating system (NOS) is an operating system that includes special functions for connecting computers and devices into a local-area network (LAN).

Network operating system. The software that runs on a network server to control network functions.

Network Operating System, the software that runs on a file server and offers file, print, and other servers to client workstations. Windows NT Server 4.0 is a NOS. Others include NetWare, Banyan VINES, and IBM LAN Server.

Network Operating System. Operating system designed to pass information and communicate between more than one computer. Examples include AppleShare, Novell NetWare, and Windows NT Server. [Go to source

network operating system. Software designed to run on a server that controls access from client PCs to services such as email or printer sharing. Windows NT Server and Novell NetWare are the two most common NOSs.

Network Operating System. Software that manages the resources of a network; typically provides file sharing, e-mail, print services, security measures, etc.

Network Operating System. A computer operating system (software) that is designed direct the overall activity of workstations, personal computers, and terminals that are connected via a network.

An operating system designed to run across a network. It refers to the operating system that runs on a server, not the client. Network OSes are typically...

network operating system. An operating system that resides on the controlling computer in the network. The NOS controls what software, data, and devices a user on the network can access. Examples of an NOS are Novell Netware and Windows 2000 Server.

Network Operating System. The software that manages the relationships between network resources and users. While there are several parts and protocols in a NOS, it is usually available as a single product.

The software that connects all the devices on a network so that resources can be shared efficiently and files can be transferred. It handles administration of all network functions, Network operating systems are usually in two parts; server and client/requester. The requester puts the workstation on the server machine and makes disks, software, ports and other facilities available to a node on request. Each device's services requested by a PC are accessed via the requester software.

Network Operating System (i.e., NetWare, Windows NT server)

Network Operating System. The operating system resident on the network server, e.g. NOVELL.

Network Operating System.An operating system which makes it possible for computers to be on a network, and manages the different aspects of the network. Some examples are Novell NetWare, VINES, Windows for Workgroups, AppleTalk, DECnet, and LANtastic.

Network Operating System. Consists of a set of programs that control the operation of a LAN of microcomputers. These programs reside on the file server and handle the requests for data from all the workstations on the network.

Network Operating System, the software for a network that runs in a file server and controls access to files and other resources from multiple users. It provides security and administrative tools. Novell's NetWare, Banyan's VINES and IBM's LAN Server are NOS examples.

Network Operating System. A network operating system is software that allows users to share files, printers, faxes, modems and to access a server. Network operating systems manage network resources that can be completely self-contained (such as NetWare) or require an existing operating system in order to function (LAN Manager requires OS/2, and LANtastic requires DOS). Examples of network operating systems are Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95, Windows 98 and LANtastic. Also see DOS LAN LANtastic Modem NetWare Network Server

Network Operating System. The operating system running on your network server, probably Novell Netware, Windows NT or UNIX. See also Operating System, Server, Netware, NT and UNIX.

Network Operating System. NOS is software that controls the execution of network programs and modules. Structurally, networking software comprises multiple modules, most residing in network servers, but some must be installed in each terminal/station that can access network resources. Peer-to-peer NOSs permit any terminal/station to act as a resource server or a client, and can be based on Microsoft's Disk operating system (MS DOS) designed for IBM and compatible PCs. Since MS DOS is not designed to run multiple programs and respond to many simultaneous users, most NOSs designed for large networks with dedicated servers/superservers, have a multitasking and multi-user architecture. Advanced NOS products support network management, diagnostics, and administration, as well as, primary server, client, de vice and external network driver functions.

Network Operating System. Software that is used to link files, computers, and other devices over a LAN or WAN.

Network Operating System. a set of operating system protocols which control the resources of a network.

Network Operating System. Software that handles the administration of a network to allow resources and files to be shared. Various facilities can be provided including file sharing, remote access, and a range of administrative functions to control the network.

network operating system. Generic term used to refer to what are really distributed file systems. Examples of NOSs include LAN Manager, NetWare, NFS, and VINES.

An operating system such as Novel NetWare that provides basic file system services and supervisory functions to computers connected by a network.

NOS (Network Operating System) was an operating system with time-sharing capabilities, written by the Control Data Corporation in the 1970sNOS Version 1 Reference manual at the Computer Refuge (Scanned PDF, 15MB) http://www.computer-refuge.org/bitsavers/pdf/cdc/6x00/nos/60435400J_1979_NOS_VOL1.pdf. NOS ran on the 60-bit CDC 6000 series mainframe computers and their successors. NOS replaced the earlier KRONOS operating system in the late 1970s.

New old stock (brand new old parts).

Acronym for "new old stock." These are parts that originally were available from the manufacturer of an automobile. They have never been used, thus are "new." But they also may have been on the shelf for decades, thus are "old."

Brand name/logo for Nitrous Oxide Systems

New old stock (brand new parts for old cars).

New Old Stock = New part with no usage since being manufactured.

See new old stock.

or NO2 - Nitrous Oxide

New, old stock. Unmounted and unused components or frame. Will show no signs of use or wear, but may show evidence of shopwear which should be called out in the description.

new old [restored] stock

New Old Stock, dated but un-used parts.

"New Old Stock" Means item is old, but was never used. These items often are still in their original container or still have their protective covering. NOS items may exhibit defects due to age, or may be MINT.

Not on shelf

Stands for "New Old Stock." These are leftover manufacturers' parts, which are preferable in exacting car restorations.

New Old Stock - items that remained in stores unsold & in stock. They are as they were shipped from the factory. While MIB (mint in box) items may have been purchased & never used, NOS were never even purchased.

Acronym for "New Old-Stock." This term is most commonly used to describe original, unused vintage items for sale or auction. Many times unused stock may be found stored away untouched for years. NOS items are not reproductions, they were manufactured by the original manufacturer and should be close to perfect condition.

An abbreviation for Nitrous Oxide Systems. An abbreviation for new old stock.
