I have a few questions about Windows for Workgroups.  First, can it
coexist with another network on the same physical cable (I'm already
hooked to a local ethernet of Suns, PCs, etc. - if I get W4W, can I
connect up just the PCs on the net?).   Second, what's the story with
programming under it - specifically, is there a socket-like interface
for passing messages between machines, and, if so, is there an documented
API for this available.  Third, how stable is it?

Thanks,
