I have a dilemma I hope someone out there in News-land can help me with...

My boss wants to connect my 386 with a 486 and share the same information back
and forth...speedily. I know I can use a null modem cable and comm software to 
do this but I have heard about a program that enables you to actually access 
the hard drive or floppy drive of the other machine as if it were your own. 
This would be ideal for me.  Does anyone have first hand knowledge of Desklink 
or Carbon Copy software packages?

Because my configuration is so complex, I'm not even sure if it will do what I 
need it to do.  My LasterMaster controller card does not use the Windows print 
manager and takes over the whole CPU while it prints, I tried a buffer in the
past and it didn't work any faster. I guess what I'm asking is:

Will one of these programs enable me control the printer with one PC while
keeping the other free to do work?  If not, what can I use? Will I have to go 
to a full blown Network (someone recommended Lantastic...any users of this 
set up out there?)...I'm sooooo confused. I have no knowledge of networks so 
if I can get off easy with a little software package and a null modem cord...I 
will be happy.  If not...I NEED HELP!!!!

Thanks...

Lynne
