I am putting together a local area network which consists of PC compatible computers, both desktop and and laptop computers. I am seriously considering LANtastic for a number of reasons including low cost and low memory usage. The LAN itself with be Ethernet using ThinNet coax. To provide the most flexibility in choosing an Ethernet board I am looking for boards which support NetBIOS. For the desktop computers I have decided on Western Digital WD8003E boards. I have run into a problem, however, in choosing a board for the laptop computers (which at this time are all Toshiba T1200s). Knowing that all NetBIOS implementations do not necessarily interoperate I am looking for an Ethernet board for the laptop computers that will interoperate with the Western Digital board at the NetBIOS. I am also willing to consider other boards for the desktop units if need be. Michael P. Martineau Software Kinetics Ltd. martinea@crc.skl.dnd.ca (192.5.204.1, 192.12.215.3) (902)-468-3680 P.S. Although this question does not directly pertain to it is relevant with respect to those boards with support the NetBIOS over TCP/IP standard. Thanks for your indulgence.
