[comp.dcom.lans] LANtastic and others

Hi  ...  I'd like some opinions on or comparisons of three different
networks.  Actually, I realize that I'm talking about apples and
oranges, but here goes...Banyan & Novell (386) with its anticipated
NLM's like Remote File Management, Naming, etc. is the first set, and
LANtastic and Novell ELS and ELSII the second set to compare.  I guess
what I'm really asking for is capabilities/cost for each...what do I
get for my money?  Is it worthwhile spending a little more?  Does it
really cost more/less in the long run?  Could we make this a discussion
here in the news, rather than mail messages, please?  I would like to
see replies to comments (no flames, please :-).  I know that LANtastic
has been mentioned in the past, but I never bothered saving any info on
it, as it was not a question at the time...of course, now our list here
only goes back to 18 July, and that doesn't help.  Thanks in advance for
your comments.  ...  Syl
