- Have you ever used a modem over a LAN? Expensive "modem sharing" software
- is available. Is this expense (CAN$400) necessary?
-
- I am in a medical research lab. A collegue of mine is setting up a LAN to
- connect the 12 PCs that we have. We have two 2400 baud modems and may buy
- a faster one. As my collegue understands it, we have to buy some new software
- ($400) in order be able to use the modems from any PC on the network.
- We have been using Procomm.
-
- Our funds are very limited and this is something with which nobody here has
- any experience.
-
- Your comments will be appreciated.

- Thanks,
- Dan
