Hello All!
   Within the week, I should have my main node back up and running again, and 
I'm interested in comments on how to link my existing computers in such a way 
as to allow them to share resources ?
Addendum (10/7): Got the MB, but now can't find my 4-1meg SIMMS, so it looks 
like there will be a delay getting the main system back up until I can afford 
a couple 4 or 8 meg 72-pin SIMMS.  Gee...  Who would have thought that OS/2 
wouldn't boot up with 4-265k SIMMS :)
   Basically, this is what I have so far:
486dx4/100 w/16m OS/2 Warp - main BBS & FTS/ISP mail client/serv/gate
386sx33 w/4m MSDOS v6.22 - HAM Radio BBS/FTSmail node (FD212/Maximus)
286/25 w/2m MSDOS v6.22 - JNOS (KA9Q variant) tcp/ip AMPR.org node
286/20 w/1m MSDOS v6.22 - IRC client w/robot script (VOICE v0.20r)
                           (uses Novell type stack with ppp-ODI)
286/12 Toshiba T-1600 Laptop w/1m MSDOS v6.22 - local operator term
   The storage media on these machines consists of a mixture of (E)IDE and 
SCSI-1/2, read/write and CDROM drives.
   I plan on adding another 486+ to the collection later for inet
surfing, and running business related applications (ie Tracking SW,
WinVelope, inventory managment, billing, PIM, etc) under Win3.11
   Is there ANY way for me to link these systems together as they 
are (ie a TSR on the DOS machines) ?  I've been looking at a 5-pack
of ISA 10Base-2/10Base-T Combo cards (NE2000/IEEE802.3 compatable) 
for $170 and wondering if this hardware would work for what I'm 
looking to do ?!
   I realize that the laptop doesn't have room for a card, but it
DOES have an expansion port where something(?) might be connected.
Any ideas ???  The budget is very limited so PLEASE don't suggest
a 'big bucks' upgrade.  I need to work with what I have.  Thanks!
Sincerely,
           Bruce - kb6lwn - ck1@pacbell.net
