- Yeah, it's possible. Hardware wise you'll need an ether card for the PC,
- but they're cheap. Software wise, you have a choice...

- What exactly do you want to achieve with this network? Share files?
- Printers? Remote operation of either machine?

- If you don't already have an exsisting network you need to conform to,
- you can run Samba on the Amiga. TCP/IP is nicer, but Win 95's TCP/IP

- clients and an EXTREME shortage of servers)
