    If you FTP to either SIMTEL or one of it's mirrors (like 
    "wurachive.wustl.edu", take a look in either the utilities directories
    or communications directories for a file called ZIP???.ZIP... Can't
    remember exactly where, but this program makes communications through a
    serial port real easy, with a server mode, etc....

I investigated many of these thoroughly, and came to the conclusion
that there is only one that is any good (all the others are enormous
and/or flaky and/or slow and/or conflict with other software).
Happily, the one good one is also the least expensive.  I'm talking
about The $25 Network, from Information Modes, 800-628-7992.  This
terrific product uses only 10Kb resident, provides mounting of remote
filesystems, network time service, limited remote job execution, and
printer sharing.  I recommend it highly.

I have no affiliation with iModes except as a a satisfied customer.

 I have an information problem.  In october 89 I bought a PC from a mail
order company, the machine has been very reliable and I still run it without
problems. However I would like to improve upon the existing hardware. I
would like to add memory. The problem is that the company never sent me 
the technical documentation for the machine and I think they are now out of
business (telephone has been disconnected, no add in computer magazine).

So I am looking for someone with a similar machine that could help me figure
out the switches and jumpers for my mother board and my memory board. All
I know is the following:

   Company: Omega System / Automated Resources, Inc.
           DBA Omega System South Bend, IN 46613 
           Phone: 219-289-6688

   Machine: 386 Sx / 65 Mg HD
            Memory 896K (the company sold it as a 1 Meg machine)
            Memory board has the following: QEC Made in Taiwan
            The memory board has 3 jumpers J1, J2 and J3 each with 3 pins 
            Motherboard has the following: ELT 386SX  
            There are 2 banks of switch on the mother board.
            Award Bios

 I would really appreciate information, or pointers to company I can
turn to. Please reply by e-mail : dussart@Athena.mit.edu
