I can't offer any help on the Sanyo, but I have purchased and used the
$25 Network and have been very pleased with it.  This product is not for
everyone but for someone who (like me) has an occasional need for a 
low cost, zero hardware method of networking a couple of machines together,
it has worked very well.   The network uses one serial port on each machine
and runs completely in the background, so that both machines can continue
to operate normally, but can also access disk drives and other devices on
the remote machine.

I have used only the two machine configuration, but a three system 
configuration is also supported where the machine in the "middle" must
have two free serial ports available.

I have used the network an an AT&T 6300 (XT compatible) and a Sharp
PC-4501 laptop.  My guess is that it would work on the Sanyo if the Sanyo 
uses the standard 8250 chip for the serial port.  The network accesses 
the serial port hardware directly, but all other file accesses go through 
the normal MS-DOS mechanisms.

The $25 Network is sold (for $25.00 of course, plus $1.50 Shipping) from
