Say what???? After Jerry brought up Lantastic on a Zenith and an AT&T machine
(with much screaming in agony over the manual) Andy Finkel and I brought it up
on the Amiga's PC side in about 10 minutes. The manual sucks dead cockroaches
through glass hospital straws but the data needed WAS there. And it installed
slick as you could ask for once we altered the LAN's IRQ address to avoid
conflicting with what Janus software uses. The LAN never locked up for others
even when we AMigan nerve pinched the A2000. Perhaps you're used to a funky
setup LAN?
