Hello All; I would like to know if anyone has heard of (or has done) networking of IBM PC's using their built-in standard serial ports ??? If so, I'd be interested in learning the BEST, and MOST EFFICIENT way (In your opinion) to do it. I am particularly interested in the actual connection scheme but will welcome any additional information you may have on the subject. Also ... are there any magazine articles that I can refer to ??? I have a need to network 5 or more PC's in a way that is cheap and can be duplicated (With simple instructions) by many people of different technical backgrounds. Using this networking scheme, all PC's must have the capability of sending and receiving data form all other PC's while at the same time ... also work independently. Thank you very much for any information you can provide !!! Tim Dedula W. Tim Dedula Internet: N.A.S.A.
