It rocks, beats twinexpress to the dust :)

Mount your PC as PC:, the C disk will occur as PC:c/ , 
the floppy as PC:a/ etc... Also you can use the PC's printer by 
copying to PC:prt (or whatever the device is called ..)

The only thing that onnoyed me was that if some jerk started windows on
the PC, the pc2am server on the PC hang, due to lack of multitasking :/
How this is with Win95 I dunno, would be cool to set up the PC to 
permanently export its disks and devices to the Amiga and still be "usable".
I also have triesd to get such a network between 2 PCs, but gave it up as it
would have cost me a fortune :/

Best regards ..
