Lantech Systems
PO Box R
Billerica, MA 01821
(508) 667-9191

My church has been using Lantech for about 5 months to network 2
Mega 2s together.  At first each Mega had a hard drive, but since
the net has been working so well we took one of the drives off.  Now
we have a Mega 2 with a 85meg Toadfile as the host and a Mega 2 as a
stand alone in another office.  Lantech also includes a neat little
desk accessory that allows you to use any printer on any node on the
net.  Works great for sending messages ;-)  and there is also an
e-mail utility.

I am not connected with Lantech. I am just a happy customer.
