I'm looking for MS DOS network software that supports disk and printer sharing over an ethernet. The catch? We need very low overhead (but we're willing to sacrifice functionality). Our first attempt was 3Com's Ethershare, but we're unable to obtain copies of the IBM server software. The BIG plus to Ethershare was the low memory overhead for client computers (6K resident driver or something like that). Our network consists of IBM ATs, a few 386 clones and a couple of TI Professional Computers (old non-compatible MS DOS machines, easily expendable if incompatiblities arise). I'd appreciate any help finding a source of IBM Ethershare server software or another similar solution. Please respond by mail. -- John Maline UUCP: ut-sally!im4u!ti-csl!tifsie!john Texas Instruments sun!texsun!ti-csl!tifsie!john PO Box 655012 M/S 3635 Internet: jmaline@tifsie.csc.ti.com Dallas, TX 75265 Voice: (214)995-6747
