In-Reply-To: <199705121417.JAA28067@Starbase.NeoSoft.COM> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Look at the SAMBA package....It will allow you to share file/printer resources between w95 & fbsd. Yes you will need a couple of NICs (try 10 Base 2 ethernet -- the coax style). Load the Microsoft Networks Client and tcp/ip onto your w95 system, SAMBA onto your fbsd system, tweak the smb.conf file and away you go! MAKE SURE YOU READ THE MANUAL FOR SAMBA!!!!!!
