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.

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. Pepino Voorhoeve
