- How much ? Depends on what you want. The inetd (Daemon sniffing if there is
- any software wanting a connection) does not consume much. All the rest is

- If there was an NFSD, you could use NFS from both Amigas. As there isn't

- The AS225 is a full featured TCP/IP Software, nothing is missing.
- A normal TCP/IP Package for a PeeCee has no NFSD, too (would be useless i fear :)
