Does anyone have experience with a serverless (hopefully)
PC lan that will run as a background task under Microsoft
Windows and/or Desqview?

What I want to do is have a foreground task on each PC 
in a group of perhaps 5 units providing an interactive 
data entry function.  One unit will have a background program
that will periodically collect files from the other units
and transfer them to a remote host via phone line.

I would like this lan to be cheap, to use RS232 instead of
a card if possible, and to be reliable.

Maybe too much to ask!
