Greetings,			

We are about to network 10 PCs and have no knowledge of
PC networking.  Our some-time programmer also has his own
business and sells the Lantastic network system.  When I
asked him about the Novell network, he replied that the
Lantastic system is far better than Novell.

We are somewhat trapped into buying the Lantastic system,
since this is what our "expert" recommends.  But I don't
feel right about just taking his advice since he is obviously
biased and because the Lantastic system will cost alot more.

The network will be heavily used by the PCs as they access a database.

1. How would you compare Novell and Lantastic?

2. What has been your experience using Lantastic?

Thanks for the help,
Michael
