I'd like to get opinions on modem-sharing software for LocalTalk networks. We are currently using ComServe (version 1.0) from InfoSphere and are somewhat less than satisfied. This version of ComServe seems to have problems running with other INIT's, running with MultiFinder, dealing with crashed connections, and dealing with a router that disappears at 5:00 PM. We need a software solution to share an existing serial device from the Mac's on our network. I have heard that Shiva and perhaps LaCie also have similar software. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has tried these packages or can propose an alternate solution. EMail responses are just fine. Thanks, James Talley talley@hpuxa.ircc.ohio-state.edu
