This question is more of an alt.hardware thing, but my problem is
this: I need to have several PCs that can all interface to one common
disk. I want to have each one on a separate phone line, but all able to
access the same information. Short of configuring a LAN (and buying
ethernet cards for all the PCs) is there a simple way to do this, with
existing software? I've heard of small LAN packages that use the
parallel ports on PCs to connect to one another...do these work? I
understand they are limited to 2 nodes.
Thanks in advance... mail works best, but I'll be checking posts
also.
