- I am working on a project that is too much for one single computer to
- handle. I am thinking about having multiple 486s to share the computing
- load. The problem is the communication among these computers. What is the
- fastest way that the computers can talk to each other? Serial is too slow,
- parallel port only allows "star" configuration.
-
- Where can I find info on programming ethernet cards? I would like to send
- and receive information directly through the ethernet card the way I do
- with serial ports (except a lot faster).
-
- Thank you in advance.
