I am still (for more than a year) looking for a way to really network several
amigas and only amigas together.  I know of serial solutions which are too
slow.  I know of an ethernet board that requires a unix box as a fileserver.
I have heard rumors of another ethernet board which has software for an 
amiga only network.  I've heard rumors that the companies formed after CMI's
demise might release networking software for their AppleTalk cards.  I
currently share a harddrive between several machines on a scsi bus, but
there are no facilities for more than one machine having write access to
the same files, and there are no facilities for interprocess communications
between processes running on different machines.

I _really_ need to have a network soon, and to be able to write software
which utilizes the network.  Unfortunately I can't program any of the real
systems which I've seen, nor can I program rumors.  Is there any hope for
me?  Please reply by email, I will post a summary if there is anything
worth summarizing.--

     Make the programmers less stupid and/or make the users less stupid.
