- Netware is available from a company called Oxxi, I haven`t tried
- it but there is some talk usually in this newsgroup about it!
- Look at www.cucug.org/amiga.html at the faq on networking!
-
- If you use linux on the PC then it is easy to mount the PC`s
- drives on the amiga using NFS, we do this and it is brilliant!
- Look at ch_nfsmount in the amitcp distrib.
-
- If win 95 has an nfs client which lets you use standard NFS
- mounts then you will be able to mount between the amiga and PC.
-
- I have found that the Amiga connects easily to the unix box and
- vica versa but this is of no help to you!

- You should be able to do this quite easily. We have managed it
- but unfortunately I didn`t set it up!
-
- If you write to tjoshi@sewer.immstudios.com he will be able to
- help :)
