- Summary: I want it all
-
- What I want is a way to share files between my laptop and desktop
- computers via a parallel port, transparently under Windows, that won't
- conflict with network drivers I'm already using (LocalTalk to talk to
- a LaserWriter and TCP-IP to talk to the world). Is there any way I
- can have everything I want?
-
- LANtastic-Z seemed like the ideal solution, but then I found out it
- conflicts with my other network drivers. I'd be willing to give up
- transparency if necessary. If I have to leave Windows to use file
- sharing I'll be quite annoyed. A DOS program that works in a window
- in 386 mode would be ugly but marginally acceptable. Suggestions,
- anyone?
