- A PC running any of the TCP/IP products from FTP Software, Beame and
- Whiteside or 3Com should give you the connectivity you are asking for.
- Others are available.
-
- Cheap? Under $400 I'd guess, depending on the cost of the software.
- A decent 16-bit ethernet card should be about $200 but I'm not
- familiar with US$ pricing for either hw or sw.
-
- I'd recommend BW before FTP software on price alone and on the quality of
- the manual.
-
- While it works, I've never been thrilled about the networking
- capabilities of PCs and the setup will not be transparent.
-
- Hope this helps
