-
- Nope. All you need is the hardware. Windows for Workgroups has its own
- drivers for itself, Novell IPX/SPX, and NetBios. You don't even necessarily
- have to buy the hardware seperately. The full-up W4WG package for 2 nodes
- has the cards, cable, a video and a screwdriver (yeah, really!) included.
-
- It'll even (in most cases) autoconfigure, if you do have a preexisting
- network installed. Neat stuff! I've installed it on a half-dozen machines
- at this point, and it works like a champ. Only one machine had a problem,
- and we substituted a SMC-WD8003EP card for the NE2000 that was in it, and it
- came right up.
