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.
