- Probally never - at least not free as the net stuff for the Mac is. You can
- put the blame on Gates and fat-cat managers for this boon-doggle.

- As far as DOS PC eq. to chosser there is a product called Timbuktu ver 1.0 for
- windows which also comes with Apple-Talk protocol for the IBM. The product is
- very reasonable priced @ $699.00 for a ten pack. It is ODI compliant so you
- can run Novell as well as TCP/IP.
