[comp.sys.ibm.pc] linking two personal computers

jeff@actnyc.UUCP (Jeffrey Poretsky) (03/30/90)

 I need to access files on one PC from another.  The best way I can
 think of for my situtation requires a software/hardware product
 that I can't remember.  What happens with this product is that 
 the disk drives on the "remote" PC can be accessed from the "host".

i.e.  
    PC-1                     PC-2
     a: local                 a: local
     c: local                 c: local
     d: accesses a: on PC-2   d: accesses PC-1 a: 
     e: accesses c: on PC-2   e: accesses PC-1 c:

I know that this exists, I saw it at PC Expo in 1989 .

Thanks in advance,

How about the $25 Network? It hooks up 2 or 3 PC's via their serial ports and
operates at 115K baud. The company is Information Modes (817) 387-3339.
