[comp.protocols.appletalk] IBM XT as server to AppleTalk network

bcarter@CLAVEN.IDBSU.EDU (10/03/90)

Greetings all,

One of the departments here on campus has an old IBM XT with a hard drive that 
they would like to use as a file server for data files on their Macintosh 
network.  They are running plain old AppleShare service.  Will the AppleShare PC 
product along with the LocalTalk PC board do this for them, or does that only 
provide client service to the PC from an AppleShare server.  I don't want them 
to get into anything very complicated for their network, so the most simple way 
to use this PC unit as a server would be preferred.

Thanks!
