- One of the files that accompanied ParNet mentioned that it would be
- possible to connect additional (more than two) computers on the network if
- you could work out the cabling. The ParNet software doesn't place any
- limitation on the number of nodes on the network, apparently. Since you
- have to build your own custom cables for ParNet anyway, it seems that ParNet
- allows more than two-computer networks without taking the serial port.
