Message-ID: <1991Mar27.163856.4419@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu> Keywords: network Reply-To: bill@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu (Bill Roth) Organization: Physical Sciences Lab, UW-Madison Distribution: usa Date: Wed, 27 Mar 91 16:38:56 GMT I am a PC novice. With that said: I currently have a project where I have to network 3 IBM compatible PCs so thay can do file-sharing. I can not dedicate one PC to be a server, though I would like to have a central server that will do other work reasonably. 1. What do people recommend for Ethernet-based PC file-sharing systems? 2. What is the most popular Ethernet-based PC file-sharing system industry-wide, and who gives the best support? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bill Roth, University of Wisconsin Physical Sciences Laboratory email: bill@pslu1.psl.wisc.edu bill@wiscpsl.bitnet / (608)-873-6651
