- We have an IBM PC XT and a CD-ROM drive. Ideally, we'd like to
- use the PC as a "server" that people can login to and use the
- CD-ROM as a resource. What kind of Ethernet cards and software
- can you recommend to help us achieve this goal? Could you give
- an estimate of what each part will cost? Is it more economical
- for us to get at least a 286? We do not intend to use Windows.
