I need to setup a network between two Compaq 286 machines so they
can run Dbase III+ applications and share a multi-megabyte data
file.  The Dbase manual says it can be networked with PC Net,
Token Ring, Novell, and 3Com 3+.  The cheapest setup I can get
with one of these four (Token Ring) is about $2500!

I know about other networks, like Western Digital Starlan and
Netbios software (approx. $900), but don't know if Dbase will run
on it.  Can the net give me any suggestions?

Tim.
