I will be setting up a small network for only a couple of
workstations.  I am leaning towards Lantastic by Artisoft after
reading the report by PC Mag when it recieved the Editors Choice
award.

We are planning to also have remote dial-in capability using PC
Anywhere 4.

Is there anyone out there who has used Lantastic with remote
dial-in?  And is there anything you dislike about it?

At the bottom of the camparison chart in PC Mag it indicated no
password protection.  I find it hard to believe that any network
would lack this feature and not be mentioned as a major drawback
in the article.

I believe I am correct in assuming the server runs in a non-
dedicated mode.  Although I will be calling Artisoft with
questions and requesting brochures I need to hear anyones
experiences (good, bad, minor or major) with this product.
