Currently I am running DOS' interlink, which is not multitasking, and only on MS' OS's. File (a NFS, not a telnet) and printer sharing are essential, but modem sharing and CD-sharing would be a great bonus. ANY HELP/advice at all will be appreciated. Oh - there are no slots free in one computer for an Ethernet/Arcnet card, so that is not an option. Free and cheap software solutions are prefered. Thanks!
