Hi, there,

If this is the wrong place to post such a question, please accept my
aplogies or inform me some points.

Basically,  we  have  some  application s/w  running on TWO 486s under
MS-DOS 5.0.  we now would  like  to  find some simple network software
which  can  let the two 486s share some database files  on one of  the
machines.  All we need is  to  let the remote 486 virturally sees  the
database  as a  hard drive, say E: drive.   We surely know that novell
NetWare can do the work ( and much, much more). We are more interested
in some other simple network s/w which can do the above work with less
requirements of hardware (e.g. parallel ports themselves, rather  than
Ethenet boards).

Since I'm new to the PC network s/w, any hints will be helpful.

Thanks in advance,


---
