Hi all!

I would like to write software that is network-compatible, but unfortunately
I don't have access to a PC LAN.  So what I want is a program or set of
programs that will do network stuff over a null modem cable to another
computer.  I want it to do full DOS network pathnames, etc (network printers
are optional).  Device drivers that just create extra drives by re-routing
requests to the other machine just won't cut it.  Full file sharing and
other permissions would be VERY nice.

If anyone knows of such a beast (shareware or public domain preferably),
could they let me know via e-mail, and I'll summarise at a later time.

Rhys.
