[comp.sys.apollo] Is anyone happy with IPT's uShare product?

Has anyone had success with IPT's uShare product for file/mail/printer
sharing between Apollos and Macintoshes?  In particular, I am
interested in knowing how people feel about performance and
reliability.  I will post a summary of responses to the network if
people mail me replies.

Our site found the product to be unreliable (both the 9.7 version and
the 10.1 version), and also very slow on an 8mB DN3000.  The
performance was partucularly slow when accessing files (from the mac)
that reside on machines other than the one with the IPT board in it.
I would be particularly interested in knowing about anyone who feels
that they have had a good experience with the product, so that I can
find out if there is something that I am doing wrong.
