From article <10595@saturn.ucsc.edu>, by lance@helios.ucsc.edu (Lance Bresee):
   We use that here.  It is OK.  One machine has to be designated
   as host, and any shared devices must be physical devices on
   the host.  You can connect as many machines as you want.  We
   chose it because of cost and low memory overhead.

Not true.  LANtastic does support full peer-to-peer capability.
It is unfortunately, not routable, and Artisoft (from what I've been
told) has no plans to make it so.
