My apartment has a thin-net network consist- ing of 5 [34]86 dos machines (including a laptop), a sysvr4, BSD and a novell 3.11 server. All the dos machines have netware drivers, tcp/ip drivers, cd-rom drivers, doskey, smartdrv, mouse, etc, etc. All have over 600k free after this, and *never* crash unless the wife says "what will *this* do??".
