Does Lantastic support named pipes like Lan Server does?  That is, can I
create a named pipe on a machine running Lantastic server (for OS/2 of
course) and connect to it from another machine running Lantastic client
for OS/2?

I tried a test program and couldn't get it to work.  I used the same
syntax I would have used on a Lan Server network.  I named the pipe

\PIPE\TESTPIPE

on the server machine (whose name is KEITH)

and \PIPE\KEITH\TESTPIPE

on the client machine, but they couldn't connect.  Thanks for any help.

	When I called up LANtastic w/ this question, they listed me the
"Checks" that the software comes with.
	Besides remote drives and LPT ports they said they have support
for named pipes for SQL packages. I only know of 1 type of names pipes supported
by OS/2 that have remote capabilities, so I safely assume it's the same thing.

	P.S. Connecting to a remote pipe is done by opening:

	\\ComputerName\PIPE\PipeName

	 or  "\\\\CompName\\PIPE\\PipeName" (for less confusion for C programmers)
