[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Peer-to-peer networks

pv9y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu (O) (03/14/90)

    Hi all,

       I'm looking to install a peer-to-peer network in an office with
    10 PCs of varying ages.  The main uses will be printer sharing and
    unattended backups, with a certain amount of file sharing thrown
    in.  I've read a review of peer LANs in the November PC World, and
    they loved LANtastic for price and performance and memory usage. 
    However, someone responded to my earlier question about tape
    backup systems of networks by saying that LANtastic was a pain to
    work with.  Has anyone else had experience with LANtastic or other
    peer-to-peer networks?  I've used TOPS on the Mac and haven't been
    truly impressed, but have never tried any peer networks on the PC.

       Comments will be extremely appreciated and a summary will be
    forthcoming.  Many thanks.


    -Adam
