We are interested in the least expensive way of doing this, and would like some sort of system that does not require a dedicated file server (such as TOPS). I would appreciate a detailed description on how to go about setting up such a network, including the most inexpensive purchases of cables, software, and the various options that we might have for such a network. Thanks in advance. Please respond to islam1@husc9.harvard.edu
