- Re: How to network two PC?
-
- (Perhaps you can post this for me; I can't post at the moment...)
-
- Check the following two sources:BG Micro (214)271-5546 is a
- distributor of the $25 and $75 networks (the $75 network is called
- Little Big LAN--I have this and it works fine under DOS. How it
- works under OS/2 I have no idea yet). The software developer is IMODES
- and is available 9-5 Central at (817)387-3339.
-
- This network is completely transparent to DOS. You can connect up to
- 256 computers via 6 conductor telephone cable and serial port connectors,
- up to 80 ft at 110 Kbaud, or with parallel port connectors up to 15 ft
- at perhaps 330 Kbaud or with *any* arcnet card up to 2000 ft at 1 Mbit/s.
- Other than making the cable, installation is under an hour to read,
- understand, load, configure and demonstrate. I'd recommend it for a
- pure DOS solution, but I can't say anything about use under OS/2.
