Could anybody recommend a LAN for our circumstances? We have a Sun workstation
and a few PCs (later, another Sun may be added), and would like to connect
them with a local area network so that file transfer and sharing disk space
will become easier. The Sun has a hard disk of 200 megabytes.

We know Sun has a LAN called TOPS, but we don't know of any other alternatives.

Reply directly to me please.
