Having lived with lanmanager and pnw on a fairly large network, I would
urge a little caution here. Both of these networking pkgs use dos
conventional memory in their basic design, and lanmanager alone is
enough of a hog to make it difficult to run some dos applications.
Lanmanager is smb(Windoze) protocol and pnw is ipx(Novell). Do you
really have to have both? The trouble with pnw and Windoze is the fact
that pnw uses a client shell that is not supported directly by current
versions of Windoze. If you need peer to peer sharing, my inclination
would be to make it all work with one or the other.
