We have an IBM PC XT and a CD-ROM drive.  Ideally, we'd like to
use the PC as a "server" that people can login to and use the
CD-ROM as a resource.  What kind of Ethernet cards and software
can you recommend to help us achieve this goal?  Could you give
an estimate of what each part will cost?  Is it more economical
for us to get at least a 286?  We do not intend to use Windows.
