We have a mix of Mac's, 286/dos5, and 486/dos5/win3.1 machines on an
appletalk network. The 286s and one 486 use Farallon's PhoneNet Card, while
one 486 uses a Dayna DL2000 card to connect to the network. All PCs are
running Farallon's PhoneNet Talk 2.04, but the upgrades to 3.0 have been
ordered for the windows machines. I hear nice things about OS/2, and am
getting tired of the problems we keep having with windows, but have been
told that, if we run OS/2 on our 486s, we can't use our existing PhoneNet
cards or software. Is this true, or can we just set up our 486s with OS/2
and live happily ever after? We can't change our network, we'de rather not
buy new cards and software for the 486s, so are we stuck using windows?
Thanks for the help.
