My network of DOS/DR-DOS and Windows 95 machines use Lantastic from
Spartacom for connectivity. Artisoft seems to have divorced themselves from
Lantastic and Spartacom has picked up the ball. (like the mixed metaphors?)
Lantastic works very well across the whole 8 machines on thin-net. Version
6 talks (just fine thank you) to the version 8 on the Windows 95 machine and
vice-versa. I even connect my Amstrad laptop to the others using
Lantastic-Z through its parallel port.
Too bad that the best seem to fall by the wayside.

My question was how to connect a dos-machine (my laptop) to a windows95 or
windos98-machine.
And I don't want to have a NT server in this case, because it is a home
network.
And I couldn't get it right at home.
At my work, with NT server, it is working.
But I till now, I understand I have to have a better look at ms-client, so I
try this again.
