- Compatibility Statement
- LANSHARE v2.0 is compatible with LANtastic NOS v 4.xx.
-
-
- Product Overview
- LANSHARE provides remote control services in a NetBIOS LAN environment.
- Both text and graphics modes are supported, although graphics mode image
- transfers are very slow. Remote control via mouse is not supported and the host
- program can only be removed from memory by rebooting the PC. Up to 16
- guests can view and control a host at the same time. Security is provided in
- two ways: First, the host program has an option to notify the user of an
- incoming control request and the user may accept or reject the request. Second,
- a file containing a list of authorized users may be specified when installing
- the host, and access is allowed only to viewers who are included on this list.
- LANSHARE is licensed on a per network basis and is not copy protected.
-
-
- Test Equipment Configuration
- The following machines were used for LANSHARE testing. All machines have
- VGA adapters installed and use Artisoft AE-2 NICs. Testing was completed
- using LANtastic NOS v4.0 with AILANBIO.EXE and AE2.EXE v2.03. Machines
- running as LANtastic peer servers are designated by (S).

- Product Installation Notes
- MicroNet does not include an installation program with LANSHARE, but all that is
- required is to make a directory for the programs and copy them from the floppy
- disk.
-
- Product Execution Notes
- LANSHARE consists of two programs, a host program, LANSHARE.EXE and a
- guest program, LANCALL.EXE. The host can be configured from the command
- line, or if no configuration options are specified, LANSHARE automatically
- brings up a menu of choices. The user then presses ctrl-enter to install the
- program in memory with the desired configuration. Once it is installed, the
- host can only be removed from memory by rebooting the PC. LANCALL also may
- be configured via the command line or a short menu to specify a name for the
- guest and the name of the host it is calling. The DOS RAM overhead for host
- program is just under 12K, and the guest program can only be run as an
- application, it does not have a TSR mode. Although VGA graphics can be viewed,
- the program transfers them very slowly, taking about 40 seconds to fully update
- the guest's screen to match the host's. Unlike other remote control software,
- LANSHARE does not provide an option to remotely reboot the host PC.
