Yeah, SIMTEL has EASY-NET, but it's not too hot. It allows you to define
the com ports, the virtual drives and printers. I couldn't get the
printer to work, and it would hang everytime I tried it.

EASY-NET itself is a bit flaky - it's fragile, and slow. You need to set
the link speed to 38K (null modem cable's speed) to get an acceptable
transfer speed. But it's flexible. It really is amazing to do a 'DIR J:'
and see your other machine's A: drive whirr and provide you a listing :)

Oh, something is wrong in the docs too, you need to start the network
like: NETSTART fn.ft /R    instead of NETSTART /R  as the manual says.
The fn.ft is the name of the config file..

Basically, I like it, but can't use it. :(    -turgut
